Study forecasts disrupted holiday season buying patterns

Americans rethink holiday plans as Covid-19 spikes again

The Grinch seems to have arrived somewhat early this year, in the form of COVID-19, and consumers are dramatically rethinking their holiday plans as a result of new surges in cases and the onset of colder weather in much of the country.

People say they will hold smaller gatherings - if they gather at all - and adapt their purchasing behaviors by buying more turkey cuts versus whole birds and avoid annual celebrations at restaurants (although they will continue to take out).

These are among IRI's latest research findings from the 'Home for the Holidays' report.

"Shoppers are navigating the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with a variety of altered behaviors, creating opportunities for manufacturers and retailers that recognize and address these new behaviors quickly," said Joan Driggs, vice president of Content and Thought Leadership at IRI.

"CPG companies that satisfy these changing needs gain the opportunity to attract new shoppers as well as win back shoppers that might have migrated to other brands and/or channels earlier in the pandemic," concluded Driggs.

Have you seen The Customer Experience Factbook?

In this 180+ page report, you'll find all the information and support you need to build a profitable, effective CX Improvement Program that spans every part of your business.

You'll be able to implement and manage meaningful and profitable change, and grow your bottom line despite a slowing economy. Grab this goldmine of easily adaptable and up-to-date strategies, walk-throughs, trends, technologies, research, suppliers and partners, plus all the supporting arguments you need to build a solid CX strategy.

While most marketers could list maybe a dozen key points for improving their brand's Customer Experience (CX), the researchers and writers at The Marketing Factbook have identified FORTY main 'CX Keys' which will help you drive your customers to new levels of delight, loyalty, advocacy and profitability.

The areas in which customers have direct contact with your organization are perhaps the most obvious places in which CX improvements can be made, and this report addresses all 24 of these 'Direct CX Keys', applicable to offline and online businesses alike.

At the same time there are many other areas that indirectly affect CX (such as the supply chain, policies and processes) in which every business can make simple but far-reaching improvements. This report guides you through the problems and solutions for all 16 of these 'Indirect CX Keys', many of which are often forgotten or under-played even in the best CX strategies.
