BrandSpark International/Better Homes and Gardens American Shopper Study
The 2012 BrandSpark International/Better Homes and Gardens American Shopper Study captures the voice of the principal shopper, featuring attitudes on shopping and media habits, beauty, food and household purchase drivers, the economy, the environment, private label and more.
The findings represent one of the nation’s most up-to-date and comprehensive studies. It’s also one of the only shopper studies of this size with year over year trends as well as new emerging trends. The BrandSpark International/Better Homes and Gardens American Shopper Study is included in the Winners Package or can be purchased separately.
