New research has found that 17 per cent of under 45-year-olds have been persuaded to spend more than they’d originally planned by digital displays in stores.
The survey, commissioned by Saturn Visual Solutions and carried out by OnePoll, asked 2,000 UK-based adult full-time and part-time workers how they felt about modern stores with interactive displays and screens showing product information and videos.
Nearly a quarter of 18 to 24-year-olds (24 per cent) admitted that they’d been persuaded to spend more than they’d planned initially to whilst in a store with digital displays. The figure went down to 19 per cent with 25 to 34-year-olds, and 15 per cent for 35 to 44-year-olds. The number dropped sharply to just seven per cent for the respondents over 45.
Men were more likely to find digital signage in shops persuasive, with 17 per cent admitting to splashing out after seeing it, whereas just nine per cent of female respondents said the same.
Saturn CEO, Chris Welsh, said: “We’re not surprised by the finding that people are more likely to splurge in a store with digital displays. It shows that the environment customers are shopping in and the information they are provided with can really influence how they feel about a product.”
A quarter of all respondents (25 per cent) felt that the displays in modern stores made it easier to find about new products.
Nearly as many (22 per cent) said that shopping in modern stores with digital displays was more fun, and felt more luxurious (22 per cent).
Almost a fifth (19 per cent) said they thought stores with digital displays tended to feel like nicer places to shop. This figure went up to 26 per cent for male respondents.
Saturn CEO, Chris Welsh, said: “Our research shows that a good portion of the younger generation think digital displays enhance their in-store shopping experience. “
