Go-Go Gifts: Get Your Best Gifting Strategies On!

$1 out of every $10 Spent Buys a Gift!

If you are in the business of designing, marketing or selling gifts, one fact you need to know: $1 out of every $10 spent at retail buys a gift.*

That means roughly 1 out of every 10 shoppers is out looking for a gift at the typical store that fills America’s malls and shopping centers, the ‘big boxes’ that line the streets and highways and the shops along main streets across the country.

And among the affluent consumer segment with the greatest discretion to spend, the statistic is even higher: $1.50 out of every $10!

Gifts Is a Big Business

The gifts business totaled $131.3 billion last year, according to the latest study of the gifting market by Unity Marketing. But there are many changes transforming the consumer market for gifts. Perhaps the most profound is how rapidly and with such passion shoppers are turning to online resources to buy gifts.

Internet shopping for gifts is a real game changer. Etailers such as Amazon.com are disrupting the traditional gifting market, having replaced discount department stores and mass merchants, including the websites of stores like Target, Walmart, Kohl’s and others, as gift shoppers’ preferred gift shopping destination.
