Shoppers less irritated by ‘Christmas Creep’
Although most Americans are still irritated to see holiday items appear in the store alongside Halloween goodies and don’t like stores being open on Thanksgiving, attitudes are beginning to change.
That’s according to RichRelevance’s third-annual Holiday Shopping Survey, which finds that 63% of consumers are annoyed or very annoyed when holiday items appear in the store before Halloween – down from 71% in 2014. In addition, 55% are annoyed or very annoyed when stores open on Thanksgiving Day, down from 65% in 2014.
