Numbers are appearing to be on par with last year, with some reporting an increase in online spending (as expected due to the increase in e-commerce as a result of the global pandemic). This is putting retailers in high-hopes for the trend to continue with post-holiday sales in the coming weeks!

In terms of what people are searching for Think with Google have reported the following:

“Last Minute DIY gifts” is up 400% compared to last year

2021 is not just grabbing first-party shopper data and re-targeting your customer with no strategy behind it. It’s about personalising your ads in a creative way that makes your brand MEMORABLE.

Your customer now expects you to know more about their journey – they want your brand to know what they’ve bought and guide them on what they should by next.

Sherene Hilal, SVP, product marketing and business operations, Bluecore, predicts it’s “not just a matter of brands meeting consumers where they are; it’s about brands telling them what they want, when they want it.”
