Shopping habits consumers had during the retail shutdown earlier this year are sticking. While slightly fewer consumers will shop in-store this year, the percentage of consumers who plan to shop at a pure-play online retailers like Amazon rose over 16 percentage points year-over-year to 58.5 percent.

Other trends that emerged this year include:

  • The top three retailers remained the same but more consumers will visit them

  • Value is the top priority
  • Shopping will begin early and consumers will look for deals throughout the season
  • Most Americans will buy something for themselves this year
