With the 2009 holiday retail season quickly approaching, retailers and consumers alike are bracing for what could be a repeat of last year's dismal retail season. Just what can retailers expect over the next six weeks? Join research directors Ken Cassar and Maya Swedowsky as they take an in-depth look at how consumer attitudes and behaviors are stacking up at the start of this holiday season.


We'll examine:
  • How consumers are using the Web to decide what to buy―and what to pay
  • Key consumer motivations, considerations and strategies for buying online
  • The buzz around hot product categories―including toys and video games
  • The "frugal" shopper―demographics that may surprise you
  • How shoppers use the Internet to support their in-store shopping
  • The importance of coupons, circulars, comparison sites, reward sites
  • Deal searching and deal breakers
  • The role of social media in holiday gift shopping
We’ll also present first-look findings from our annual pre-holiday online shopping survey.

Date: Monday, November 16

Time: 2:00 p.m., EDT / 1:00 p.m., Central / 11 a.m., PDT
