Authors
It’s beginning to sound a lot like the holidays on Twitter.
Dust off those holiday decorations and get ready for the most wonderful time of the year — since people on Twitter are already on it. They’re getting their reindeer in a row and planning to start their holiday shopping a little earlier this year. To help you catch up, we teamed up with AdAge Studio 30 to create a special edition of the Twitter Conversation Report and provide merry insights from the holiday conversation. Let’s explore what that talk revealed.
People on Twitter are already in the holiday (shopping) spirit
According to a recent Twitter survey, 37% of people on Twitter say that when it comes to holiday shopping they “will start this earlier than last year.”1 Wishful thinking or not, the Tweets back up the sentiment.
And they’re putting their money where their mouth is
Not only are they getting a head start on holiday shopping, but according to our survey, nearly 1.4x as many people on Twitter say they expect to spend more on holiday gifts this year compared to last year than those not on Twitter.2 And across categories, people on Twitter are feeling generous — they’re ready to shop.
