A summary of the most relevant consumer insight research in the U.S. and U.S. Hispanic markets. If you’re trying to keep up with the latest happenings, this is your one-stop shop. This week, we looked at a few holiday season shopping insights and a couple more interesting research highlights.

 

  • Deloitte’s 34th annual holiday retail survey, which polled 4,410 respondents across the United States, found that the average household is planning to spend nearly $1,500 this holiday season. E-commerce sales are expected to grow by 14-18%, and 70% of smartphone users said they will use their device to make a purchase. 

 

  • RedPoint Global has announced the results of a survey that examines the opinions of over 1,000 U.S. consumers about holiday season shopping. According to the survey, nearly a third of respondents indicate that receiving irrelevant offers from brands is their primary frustration during the holidays. Brands should really pay attention to this, as 60% of survey participants said they are more likely to purchase from retailers who send them personalized content and offers.

 

  • According to Periscope By McKinsey’s “2019 Holiday Season Shopping Report”, 51% of consumers use smartphones to compare prices with competitors while in the physical store. In addition, 33% use smartphones to search for in-store discounts or coupons, and 30% leverage them to look up further product information.

 

  • According to the latest survey from Bankrate Credit Cards, six in 10 U.S. credit or debit cardholders (64%) say they have saved their card number online or in mobile apps despite safety concerns. The survey finds that more than half (56%) of U.S. adults save their credit or debit card information on a retailer or service’s website (like Amazon, Walmart or Netflix) while 32% save their credit or debit card information in a mobile payments app (like Apple Pay or Google Pay).

 

  • Research by BritePool and the USC Annenberg Center for Public Relations show that, among 1,004 U.S. adults, 87% would select a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” option on any given website. The people most receptive to sharing were those in the 18-34 age category, only 49% of whom said they would choose “Do Not Sell.”

 

  • According to a survey by online coupon platform Shopper.com, 95% of U.S. respondents have used an online coupon at least once. One in three U.S. respondents search for a discount code almost every time they make an online purchase. Across all respondents (U.S. and U.K. consumers), 42% of women and 32% of men have helped a friend or family member find an online discount code, and 86% of all respondents feel frustrated at themselves when they miss the opportunity to make a saving on an online purchase, but one in three feel annoyed at the retailer for not making them aware of potential savings.
