Retailers are warning that demand is slowing heading into the holiday season. That means they'll need to lure shoppers with big discounts.
  • Black Friday and holiday sales might be bigger and better this year.
  • Credit-card delinquencies are rising, Americans are saving less, and consumer confidence is falling.
  • Retailers may need to offer steeper discounts than last year to entice tepid shoppers to spend.

Get ready for some killer sales on holiday goods.
