Facts: Malaysian Shoppers

Here are some interesting snippets about Malaysian shopper:

1.   More than half of Malaysians fall into two groups: (1) The engaged info seekers, read as voracious catalogue readers, and (2) The passive value fans - shoppers who love and expect discounts.
Including two other groups of Malaysian Shoppers. [source]

2.   Malaysians spend, on average, 64 minutes in a hypermarket and two-third of this time to browse and compare products.

3.   More  than 90 per cent of shoppers look out for information to help them to decide.

4.   Two-third of final choices are made in-store. Most claim they follow a list but in truth, they don't.

5.   Sixty per cent of shoppers do not pre-plan what they want to buy before they entering the store.

6.   Malaysian shoppers spend more time in hypermarkets than they do eating lunch. They spend an average of 27 minutes in pharmacies and 22 minutes in provision stores.

7.   Malaysians read the catalogues more than they read books.

8.   Malaysians love to shop but they would rather do it alone.

9.   At the health and beauty sections, brand-switching is less likely to happen and Malaysian shoppers think these are the easiest place to navigate.

10. Malaysians think shopping in hypermarkets is monotonous, possibly because they are so many malls with the same layout, offering roughly the same products.

is there an impromptu shopper category? i think i fall in that category. dont wanna wait for sales, absolutely unnecessary. i wud definitely buy when under stress to do so. i dont like to wait for people shopping either. women r worst! haha. thats why i prefer shopping alone because it gets the job done faster.

syaftome said...

speed shopping...
as i'd like to call it...hahaha...

Coffee Girl said...
