RadioShack has released the results from its “So Right Consumer Survey,” which reveal the items that consumers are most likely to forget this holiday season, among other things. Highlights show:
-
During the season of giving thanks, one of the most forgotten
items is the thank you note. According to the poll 18-34 year olds seem
to be the most absent minded, with 55% overlooking thank you notes, 50%
forget to buy batteries and 44% forgo the holiday letter.
-
Forgotten items for consumers of all ages included: thank you
notes (44%), holiday cards or letters (37%), batteries and accessories
for gifts (36% and 31% respectively), hostess gifts (29%), keeping the
camera battery charged (28%) and extra wrapping paper (25%).
-
Though much maligned, Americans stand divided on whether
fruitcake is “so right” or “so wrong” – 38% of respondents aged 65 and
older say fruitcake is “so right,” compared to just 22% of 35-44 year
olds.
-
Women (58%) are more apt than men (48%) to consider canned cranberry sauce, “so right,” ridges and all.
