Local Search Report™
The latest in consumer trends.
Program Details
The Local Search Report™ is a series of reports and insights generated from our ongoing survey of consumers. Initially, these studies focused only on shopping behavior. However, we have recently expanded the program beyond shopping to include a more holistic picture of the US consumer and household. In addition to monitoring shopping behavior for 100+ categories, the program tracks consumer technology adoption, media usage, financial services, and healthcare-related issues.
The shopping category surveys are fielded annually, and the others are fielded quarterly. In addition, each wave provides Thrive Analytics’ clients the ability to add customized questions to uncover real-time issues/trends relevant to their business needs.

SHOPPER TRENDS
The program monitors the path-to-purchase trends for over 100 categories. Data for each category includes media used, number of ads viewed, devices used, places considered, businesses contacted, contact frequency, the amount spent, repeat business, and much more.

The program provides a comprehensive view of how shoppers use over 30 media types when looking for a local product or service. It also includes how often consumers view ads and the time they spend with media channels, and it provides their perspective on advertising.
