Give it a listen as Chad, Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton unpack how economic factors are reshaping holiday spending, consumer loyalty, and shopping behaviors. https://lnkd.in/e27aFtSw #AMCRG #ConsumerInsights #Retail #Holiday #CRGTeam

In August 2024, we surveyed over 2,100 U.S. consumers to gauge their optimism levels, shopping intentions, desired purchases, and preferred shopping channels. Our findings indicate a cautious consumer mindset, consistent with what we observed in spring. Many consumers express mixed feelings about the current U.S. economic conditions, leading to increased apprehension about spending. As a result, individuals are prioritizing saving and cutting back on non-essential purchases. This trend of cautious spending is expected to persist throughout the holiday season, with shoppers adopting a more measured approach to their buying decisions. To learn more about the latest consumer sentiment and what brands and retailers should expect from consumers going in to the holiday season, read the full report at: https://lnkd.in/ef9UCdMW #AMCRG #ConsumerInsights #Holidays #retail

The next installment of CRG's Consumer Sentiment Survey is right around the corner!  Our Spring 2024 survey indicated significant pullbacks in terms of consumer confidence and future spending plans. As we gear up for the holiday season, can brands and retailers expect a shift in sentiment? Refresh your memory with the previous installment of our survey and be sure to check out the upcoming Fall 2024 Consumer Sentiment Survey to see how trends have changed. https://lnkd.in/eCYQgmYM #AMCRG #consumerinsights #CRGTeam
