Background & Methodology • Google commissioned OTX, an independent market research firm, to gain a better understanding of consumers’ shopping intentions for the upcoming 2008 Holiday Season. Specific goals of the study are to: – Provide insight into the behavior of consumers when holiday shopping for the following product categories: Accessories, Apparel, Consumer electronics, Home appliances, Home furnishings, Jewelry, Pet products, Sporting goods, Toys and Watches – Understand the role the internet & online search plays in holiday shopping – Identify the “hot gifts” for the upcoming season – Gauge the impact of the current economic climate – Discern whether respondents will postpone purchases until after the holiday season when sales are more prevalent. • Interviews were conducted via an online quantitative survey from 9/16 to 9/24/08 yielding a total sample of 10,039 holiday shoppers. • Respondents were randomly assigned to 2 of the aforementioned product categories based on their intended purchase behavior yielding a sample of size of approximately 1900 for each product category. “The Economy and Shopping Online,” Google & Compete, Inc., Nov 2008 Google Confidential and Proprietary 2
