through the holidays
Black Friday has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean holiday
shopping is in the bag. In fact, leading appliances, electronics
and furniture retailer hhgregg (NYSE: HGG) launched its second
annual holiday shopping survey1 to uncover the truth about holiday
spending habits and found that nearly one in 10 (nine percent)
Americans put off even starting their shopping list until the final
week. Even more last minute? One in three (32 percent) say they
sometimes or often shop on Christmas Eve.
“We know our customers are shopping throughout the month of
December, so the deals don’t stop after Black Friday,” said Dennis
May, CEO of hhgregg. “We’re here to help customers continue to
cross the hottest holiday gift items off their lists, up until the
very last minute if that’s the case.”
So what are Americans looking for this
holiday season? Among the survey findings:
It’s a 4K Holiday. A third of
Americans (34 percent) say they would be most excited to receive a
4K Ultra HD TV, while more than a quarter (29 percent) say they
would be most excited to receive a tablet or laptop.
Mutually Beneficial Gifts for
Relationships. Three in five Americans (59 percent) in a
relationship would rather purchase upgrades for their home than
exchange individual gifts. Maybe that’s because over one in four
(27 percent) say their significant other is the hardest to shop
for.
This or That? Three in five (62
percent) Americans would rather have a 4K Ultra HD TV than a new
stainless steel refrigerator.
It’s a Wonderful Life. Of classic
holiday movies, a third of Americans (33 percent) would choose to
watch ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ on a new 4K Ultra HD TV, followed
closely by a quarter (28 percent) who’d watch ‘Home Alone’.
Taking these survey findings into consideration, hhgregg is
offering procrastinators some of the best deals and gifts of the
season for the final shopping push December 20-24, 2015.
