Recently, Inmar conducted a study about holiday grocery shoppers in order to find out what kind of people will save the most with their smart phones during this holiday food-hauling time of year. (Make sure you check out how I more than halved my Thanksgiving grocery bill by combining SnipSnap coupons with print and mobile manufacturer offers.)
The coolest study findings?
- Couponers Can Spend More: 80% of shoppers surveyed reported they planned to spend as much or more on holiday entertaining this year as they have in previous years.
- Couponing Correlates with Careful Planning: 70% of shoppers beginning their holiday meals at least one month ahead of time and 75% of shoppers will plan their shopping trips around coupons (30% percent will incorporate digital and print coupons into their shopping strategies).
- More Men are Pushing Grocery Carts: Inmar’s study reveals the rise of what is affectionately referred to as the “mansumer.” Apparently, men are getting in on holiday meal execution in a big way, with 82% of those surveyed reporting they share in the decision-making process surrounding holiday meal planning and a whopping 44% reporting they’re the sole decision makers.
The takeaway?
Between this finding and Inmar’s other projections, we are now expecting a four-fold increase in digital coupon redemptions this holiday season.
