It offers valuable buyer insights for brands, distributors, and retailers&nbsp;working hard to increase sales during the final weeks of the holiday shopping season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, what we learned is that despite the investment many brands have made in developing online content, consumers are still noticing gaps in data availability and consistency, meaning there are still opportunities to improve and grow conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cHoliday sales in November and December are a critical element for success across brands and retailers,\u201d said Benny Blum, SVP of Product. \u201cOur report reveals the importance that product information plays in shopper choice\u2014and the challenges shoppers face when they don\u2019t get the right product information delivered the right way. This hurts retailers and brands alike, from lost sales to higher return rates and negative brand experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-report-findings\"><strong>Key Report Findings<\/strong><ins><\/ins><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Syndigo\u2019s research identified several shopper challenges, confirming that fast and easy access to rich information about products that remove friction to making the sale is falling short. Here are several key report findings:<ins><\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list checkmark-list\">\n<li>Nearly 1 in 4 shoppers (23%) often or very often encountered situations where a product appeared differently in promotions and marketing materials compared to what they saw online or experienced in-store. Inconsistency of product information across different channels is a significant contributor to cart abandonment and returns: Previous Syndigo research showed 43% of consumers recently abandoned a purchase because they could not find sufficient information about it, and 62% thought less of a brand when its products were not completely and accurately represented online.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holiday sale shoppers sought basic images of products and packaging (46%) when making purchase decisions online at a much higher rate during the Black Friday-Cyber Monday shopping events than the rest of the year (30% in our consumer survey from August).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just one or two days after this shopping event, 23% of shoppers had already returned or were planning to return a product because it didn&#8217;t meet expectations based on information they had at the time of purchase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other insights in the report include the influence of product content on customer experiences, brand perception, buying behavior, and more during Black Friday through Cyber Monday shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-cta\" >\n\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\tGet Your Copy!\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"description\">\n\t\t<p>The full report and survey results can be downloaded on Syndigo\u2019s website <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"button-div\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/syndigo.com\/ebook\/unwrapped-2023-holiday-sales\/\">Download<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-survey-methodology\"><strong>Survey Methodology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc.
