As you've heard a bazillion times before, COVID-19 has changed things this year. Including how people are shopping for the holiday season, where they choose to shop, and what they choose to shop for.
CNBC did some surveys about what shoppers are doing. They found...
40% said they won’t shop with retailers that have laid off staff or reduced employees’ benefits because of the pandemic.
61% said they plan to minimize in-store shopping to reduce health risks to essential workers.
Nearly 40% said they were not looking forward to the holiday season due to Covid-19. 35% said they were not looking forward to the holiday season for other reasons, such as grieving a loved one or being apart from family and friends.
Nearly 1 in 4 respondents said they’re cutting holiday spending because it’s been a tough year in general and 22% said Covid-19 has affected their financial security, which is making them more careful with spending.
