Video Doorbells Support Internet Shopping Habits
Announcing the Spring 2019 Survey of the American Consumer
MRI-Simmons is always looking for new ways to deepen your understanding of today’s complex consumers. Today we introduced new variables within MRI’s Survey of the American Consumer that accomplishes just that.
With the Spring 2019 release, we have introduced new variables to our industry-leading consumer survey, (see full list below). In this post, we take a closer look at one of those new categories – the video doorbell.
With features ranging from motion-triggered/package delivery notifications sent directly to an individual’s smartphone, video/audio recording, video-sharing, and the ability to pre-record responses from anywhere, video doorbells are the latest devices connected to “smart home” controllers.
When compared to the average Internet user, those who currently have a video doorbell setup in their home are:
- 51% more likely to have spent $800+ online shopping within the last year
- 33% more likely to strongly agree with the statement “Technology helps make my life more organized”
- 28% more likely to have made a purchase online for themselves in the last 30 days
- 23% more likely to live in county size A
- 21% more likely to strongly agree with the statement “I consider myself to be very sociable”
Clearly, this is a group that enjoys online shopping and new technologies.
