Survey results highlight interesting findings
According to Euromonitor International’s Consumer Trends Survey from 2015, people still like to shop, but are always looking out for a bargain. Loyalty programmes are more important for wealthy households than the average household. Emerging marketing types, such as social media and celebrity endorsements, resonate more with 15-29 year-olds.
Retailers may want to bear these behaviours in mind
While it is difficult to predict the future of consumer behaviour, the results from Euromonitor’s survey point to key shopper behaviours that may be long lasting. It will be important to take these behaviours into consideration when planning for the future.
