AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Perk Inc. (TSX:PER) (“Perk” or “the Company”), the Rewarded Engagement Platform that connects brands with consumers, today announces the results of a 2016 consumer holiday shopping study conducted through Perk IQ™, a built-in analytics solution which offers advanced audience targeting and insights capabilities.
The Perk IQ study collected opinions about holiday shopping plans through Perk’s panel of members. According to the study:
- 89% of shoppers still do not know where they will do all their holiday shopping this year
- Online research was the top source of holiday shopping influence in 2015, followed very closely by TV ads, word of mouth, and online ads
- 68% of shoppers claimed that online ads would be helpful to think of new gift ideas or shopping locations this year
- 9 out of 10 people who plan to shop exclusively online said that a discount or promotion would convince them to shop in a store
Joe Tartaglia, VP of Sales and Strategic Partnerships, says, “The holidays are an important time for our brand and retail partners, and this year will be no exception. Our study shows that shoppers will be looking both online and on TV for holiday shopping ideas and deals this year, with online’s influence bigger than it ever has been before. We look forward to using the insights from this Perk IQ study to help our brand partners create and run successful campaigns in the upcoming holiday season and beyond.”
This Perk IQ study was conducted via an online survey of Perk users during Q3 2016. The full report on the results of this study can be accessed here.
