E-commerce is fostering smarter shopping habits, with 78 per cent of holiday shoppers expecting to spend the same or more this holiday season compared to last year.
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - With online shopping continuing to be a significant part of many Canadians' holiday preparations, e-commerce has empowered consumers with the tools to navigate a busy shopping season without having to necessarily tighten their purse strings. In fact, new data from this year's annual FedEx Express Holiday Shopping Survey reveals that a whopping 78 per cent of Canadian holiday shoppers expect to spend the same or more this holiday season compared to last year.
"Canadians are gearing up for a busy holiday season by being smarter online shoppers, leveraging digital solutions that empower them to take ownership of their shopping experience," said Lisa Lisson, president of FedEx Express Canada. "Like every holiday season at FedEx, we're ready to deliver on Canadians' shipping needs, so they can focus on what matters most."
Commissioned by FedEx Express Canada, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp (NYSE: FDX), and conducted by Angus Reid, the survey sheds light on Canadian consumers' shopping intentions for this upcoming holiday season, their level of concern around affordability and steps they are taking to shop smarter amidst external financial pressures.
This year's key survey highlights illustrate Canadians' commitment to a good bargain, how cost is driving consumer decision-making, and how Canadians are combating package theft.
Driven by the dramatic changes in online shopping and the growing prevalence of e-commerce, FedEx Express Canada has responded with a series of investments and service enhancements to ensure Canadians can rely on an outstanding experience, especially during this critical time of year.
Since June 2020, FedEx Express Canada has increased its workforce from 7,100 to over 13,335 Canadians. The company has expanded to 69 operating facilities with the addition of nearly 300,000 square feet of new sort capacity space in key markets across Canada and added an additional Boeing 757 and three ATR-72s to its domestic fleet.
A number of offerings and enhancements uniquely position FedEx and its Canadian customers for a successful, stress-free holiday season. Highlights include:
"With delivery features ranging from package scheduling to package tracking, FedEx is committed to empowering Canadians so that they can feel confident and rest easy knowing their holiday purchases will arrive safely and on time," said Lisson.
The survey was conducted with a representative sample of 1,525 online Canadians who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. The sample was balanced on age, gender, region and education to Census Canada. The interviews were conducted in English and French. The precision of Angus Reid Forum online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within +/- 2.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadians been polled. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.
