"We conducted this study mainly because over the last several months, this country has seen a version of two Americas, and we wanted to know if that was accurate. Surprisingly, it's really not," said John Richelsen, founder and senior managing partner, Level 7 Market Research. "Marketers will be interested in the results to better understand their audiences' behaviors, and consumers can use the results to gain a better understanding of their neighbors, friends and family members, even those who may have been on opposite sides of the polls. Plus, it's pretty entertaining."
The study was conducted a week prior to the election, and those polled were asked a number of questions specific to the holiday season; including who is shopping where (online and offline) and when, how much they plan to spend, preferences in Christmas music, favorite foods, when they plan to decorate, and many more. The final report features dozens of revealing statistics and insights. Some key findings include:
- Trump supporters like the pigskin. For them, football is what's on TV at Thanksgiving. They're 40% more likely to say it's the focal point of the day.
- Happy New Year! 42% of Clinton supporters will be celebrating New Year's Eve at a party (either out or their own). Only 29% of Trump supporters will be doing the same.
- Trump supporters are 60% more likely than Clinton supporters to attend a religious service over the holiday season.
- As divided as the country seems today, Americans are alike in many ways. Both Trump and Clinton supporters ranked the exact same top 5 Christmas songs.
"The study reveals some great insights for marketers, including intel on which stores voters prefer, what's on their wish lists, and how and when they're shopping," said Richelsen. "It's useful too, for consumers, since the results can help them serve and shop smarter."
The report is available for free at: www.level7research.com/holiday-poll-2016/. In addition, summaries of several of the categories are available as downloadable infographics.
