What 750 Consumers Told Us About Their Holiday Shopping Plans and Why CX Matters

The global pandemic is continuing to reshape the retail sector, fueling $189B in anticipated online holiday sales and forcing brands to wage a virtual battle for customer loyalty. This survey sheds light on the pivotal role customer service plays in consumer purchase decisions, as well as consumer attitudes about how retailers will handle the online shopping juggernaut.

This online survey of 750 consumers ages 21 and older who made online purchases in the last 30 days was conducted October 22-October 28, 2020. The survey is representative of the general adult population (gender, age, presence of children in household and geography) from Dynata’s consumer panel. The margin of error  for a sample size of n=750 is +/-3.6 pts.
