US Survey Update: Fewer Consumers Visit Shopping Centers This November (Select Findings)

What's Inside

This report provides select findings from Coresight Research’s November 24 survey of US consumers on their behaviors and expectations, with a focus on implications for retailers. This week, we discuss the declining trend in consumer visits to shopping centers throughout November.

This report is available for free and can be accessed by registering for a free account. We highlight selected findings from our weekly survey across three key topics:

1. Whether respondents are avoiding shopping centers as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic
2. Whether respondents are currently avoiding public places in general as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic
3. The select discretionary categories in which there have been improvement in spending and in the proportion of US shoppers that are making more or less purchases in these categories than pre-crisis

Our full report is available to premium subscribers and includes further findings on the following:

• What activities respondents have done in the past two weeks and what they expect to do in the next two weeks
• Whether respondents are currently avoiding public areas or travel—and which types of places or travel they are avoiding
• Whether respondents are buying more or less of any retail categories as a result of Covid-19 and, if so, which types of products
• Whether US shoppers are making more purchases online during the coronavirus pandemic and, if so, which categories
