Slightly More Green From Black Friday Shoppers
A recent Maritz Poll found that 37 percent of respondents plan to shop on the day after Thanksgiving, vs. last year's 34 percent who said they would shop on Black Friday. Those who plan to shop on Black Friday say they will spend $790 overall on their holiday purchases, compared to $637 for all shoppers combined.
According to the poll, the overall average spend this holiday season will be $637, down 10 percent from 2006. One-quarter of all respondents said they would spend less this year, with 50 percent citing "less money to spend this year" as the primary reason.
Respondents with household incomes of $100,000 or more, says the report, will shop at significantly higher levels (45 percent) on Black Friday than those in the lowest income group of less than $25,000 (30 percent).
The generational implications of these Black Friday shoppers looks like this:
59 percent of Gen Y respondents plan to shop
46 percent of Gen X will be there
Only 23 percent of Boomers
And 21 percent of the Silent Generation
Gloria Park Bartolone, vice president, Maritz Research's Retail Group, says "... Black Friday shoppers are looking for discounts, and retailers have already started slashing prices... If (the) discounts appeal to Gen X, Gen Y and those with larger household incomes... (it) could make for a better start to what might be a 'blue' Christmas for retailers."

MOM SURFS THE WEB SURPRISINGLY OFTEN
Advertisers should integrate search engine marketing to reach moms planning online and offline purchases, vacations, and more...
SAN JOSE, Calif. – August 21, 2007 – DoubleClick Performics (www.performics.com), the performance marketing division of DoubleClick Inc., today unveiled data resulting from a search usage study targeting the “moms” segment and completed in cooperation with Microsoft and ROI Research, “Searcher Moms – A Search Behavior and Usage Study.” The data illustrate heavy search engine usage in support of online purchases, offline purchases, coordinating travel and many other planning activities among moms.
“Although we suspected much of what the study uncovered, we gained a much better understanding of just how much moms rely on search engines to accomplish a wide range of tasks, literally on a daily basis,” said Stuart Larkins, vice president of search for DoubleClick Performics. “Of the nearly 1,000 moms surveyed, 89 percent use the Internet at least twice/day, and 90 percent have been using it for more than seven years. A whopping 86 percent of respondents said search engines are the most efficient way to find information.”
Other interesting findings of the study include:
o 70 percent use search engines to gather information before making any online purchase
o 57 percent use search engines to gather information before making any offline purchase
o 64 percent use search engines to find out where to purchase products offline
o With regard to purchases made in the eight product categories included in the study:
o 92 percent said search engines were helpful in providing valuable information prior to
purchasing
o 79 percent said search engines were helpful in providing valuable information prior to
purchasing offline specifically
o Regarding consumer packaged goods, respondents reported using search engines:
o To compare prices (72 percent)
o To find retail locations (71 percent)
o To gather product information (71 percent)
“Manufacturers and marketers targeting this audience through any kind of advertising campaign should be sureto integrate a well planned Search campaign. Sixty-four percent of women reported using a search engine to gather more information after seeing an advertisement,” says Scott Haiges, President of ROI Research Inc. DoubleClick Performics has prepared an overview of the study’s key findings. Those interested in a copy or people wishing to ask questions regarding the research can contact DoubleClick Performics at ksmith@preturn.com or mseverin@doubleclick.com.
Microsoft’s Research Manager Peiwen Li (Pavan Lee) presented an overview of these findings Monday August 20 at Search Engine Strategies San Jose as part of the “Searcher Behavior Research Update.”
