There’s more to consumer behaviors than economic forecasts – everything from weather to news can impact holiday spending. This year, with a nearly 30% increase in data breaches over 2013 (when data breaches increased nearly 30% over 2012), brands need to be measuring more than messages sent, they must keep a pulse on trust.
Sailthru set out to define how trust in today’s technology-driven world can impact consumer purchasing patterns. For the holiday season, we uncovered how online consumer spending varies by generation; where consumers feel their data is safest; how online and in-store trust is evolving; and most importantly, how trust impacts their plans to purchase this coming season. See the results below.
