Lockdown life has meant spending on food and household-related items, but with no socialising, commuting costs, general shopping, etc. for many people, we wondered – if they have a surplus, then what will this be spent on.
We asked our Insights panel of parents to answer this quick question:
What’s the one thing that you plan to spend money on after lockdown?
- Staycation 31%
- Home improvements/DIY 20%
- A big purchase you’ve been putting off for a long time like a car 18%
- Other* 16%
- Spending spree clothes etc 11%
- Need it for replacing lost income/rainy day fund 4%
* (e.g. New phone, Think I’d like to give money into our community such as restaurants and independent shops, Family gathering)
Some additional comments from our panel members included:
“I’d really love to spend time seeing this beautiful little country.”
“Would like to get away for the hotel break that we had booked for Easter later this year. But I am most excited about sitting in a cafe with my daughter with a fresh coffee and watching the world go by.”
Reflections for Brands and Businesses
- There’s definitely an opportunity for destinations and accommodation providers to prime themselves for that spend.
- How can you encourage people onto your mailing list to grab that opportunity when things reopen and people are ready to holiday?
