Skipping the Festive Frenzy: 3 in 10 Singaporeans forego seasonal shopping

Of those who shop for the holidays, 28% do so 3-4 weeks early.

More than a quarter (27%) of consumers in Singapore do not engage in holiday shopping around specific celebrations, data from YouGov showed.

Of those who shop for the festive season, 17% do so one to two weeks in advance, whilst 7% do so on the week of the event.

About a seventh begin their festive shopping more than a month in advance: 10% do so two to three months before, 3% do so four to six months early, whilst 2% do so more than half a year prior.

About half of the consumers (42%) who go for holiday shopping use search engines to identify products to buy for the festive celebrations.
Some tap their family, friends, and colleagues (38%) for holiday shopping ideas.

Consumers also check online reviews and recommendations, social media platforms (both 37%), and retailer websites or apps (35%).

About one in eight (13%) turn to TV ads and printed magazines and newspapers (12%).

Chart of the Day

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
