What to Expect From the Holiday Consumer Trends Webinar
In our Holiday Retail Insights Webinar, we take you through examples of recent activations in holiday shopping trends, gleaning content from retail audits performed nationwide.
Our Holiday Retail Insights Webinar starts with metrics that point to what’s happening in marketplace trends around the holiday season. In analyzing the National Retail Federation’s Planned Holiday Spending per Customer data over the past several years, survey results projected that retailers would see a 4.1% increase in spending per customer in 2019. Holiday spending went up 3.4% from 2018 to 2019, the majority of which came from the e-commerce sector, with e-commerce growing nearly 19%. Yet, in 2019, brick and mortar sales represented 85.4% of all holiday retail sales.
By delivering insights about what’s going on in retail during the holiday season, our team can help you persuade holiday shoppers with a retail display strategy for the holidays that will gift you with better incremental sales.
Great Northern Instore uses insight tools to deliver accurate and up-to-date holiday shopping trends. As part of a collaborative process, our team uses 3M’s VAS software to show the most impactful areas of your holiday retail displays and where the shopper’s eye goes first. Our Great Northern Instore Vision AppTM collects data in the field to determine the successful implementation of retail solutions.
Our holiday shopping trend tools provides the samples you need to answer cross-category questions so you can:
- Grow your brand: Use holiday shopping trends to get fast answers about market shifts and shopper behavior.
- Build strong retailer relationships: We help you build stronger relationships by delivering shopper insights that uncover opportunities across all retail categories that can be used as concrete examples to pitch your upcoming plans.
- Influence shopper behavior: The best way to influence holiday shopper behavior is to gain a deeper understanding of what shoppers want. Our shopper insights help you analyze shoppers based on their psychographics, demographics, purchase behavior and consumption habits.
