Millennials Lead Smart Home Holiday Season Shopping

Millennials will represent the largest group of shoppers when it comes to Smart Home and consumer electronics purchases this holiday season, with 46 percent of younger consumers indicating “high intentions” to buy at least one device and 36 percent planning to give one as a gift, according to a survey by Parks Associates.

The Parks Associates report amplifies a study of expected activity by Millennials as Black Friday, the recognized kick off to the holiday season, approaches. Over 50 percent of millennial consumers feel that they are “better connected” and able to find information more quickly than retail associates, according to Zebra Technologies’ Global Shopper Study released this week.

From the article "Millennials Lead Smart Home Holiday Season Shopping" by David Kaplan.
