An easier way to consume our retail insight and thought leadership
We surveyed 2,000+ UK households to better understand what shopping channels consumers are spending in - online or in-store? We distilled the key insights and reported them succinctly.
As such, this report will give you in-depth analysis of consumer channel behaviours and priorities to understand the fast-evolving omnichannel retail landscape.
Get retail category-specific insight on shifting channel behaviours and the impact of demographic variables such as: age, income and place of work. However, members can get many more data splits for deeper insights. Retail brands, agencies and the like, can use these insights to make better data-driven decisions to support strategic objectives.
