Year-End Shopping Habits
“Looking ahead to the end of the year, 70% of consumers plan to shop the week immediately after Dec. 25. The top reasons include taking advantage of holiday sales and promotions (45%) and using gift cards (26%).”
How can we continue to promote Shop Indie Local during the last days of 2025 and into the new year?
- List year-end clearance items and promotions in your online marketplaces
- Encourage businesses to reward their employees with gift cards from locally owned businesses to thank them for all their work during the holiday season
- Start your own local stimulus project in the new year
- Share your ideas with us!
