Deloitte 2009 Annual Holiday Survey

Published

Since 1985, Deloitte LLP has commissioned an Annual Holiday Survey that gauges consumers’ expectations about the year-end holidays, the economic climate and related spending and purchase patterns. The survey polls more than 10,000 adult consumers, a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population. The survey provides a consistent historical framework that allows us to uncover longer-term trends, while also gathering information on topical, timely developments. This combination has allowed Deloitte to uncover important insights over the past two decades.
