“Consumers’ no-compromise attitude towards home living is reflected in not only utility and design, but also in their choices of homewear and seasonal decorations. They tend to look for products that align with their style; and they are seeking durability, with a move away from a ‘disposable’ fast-fashion mentality. The demand to expand the functionality of the home, especially in social scenarios, has fuelled the need to develop their own living environments. Health-driven, appliance-embedded design and smart home concepts are the leading trends. Although offline home markets are still irreplaceable, how to merge digital marketing and retailing channels is a key question that will largely determine the breadth and depth of consumer exposure to the brand.”

– Frank Zhang, Senior Analyst

                                We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

                                Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

                                We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.

                                Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.

                                When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

                                They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

                                So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.

                                At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.

                                There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

                                However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
