“The summer season offers exciting opportunities for leisure operators. The school holidays, coupled with the popularity of weather dependent activities during this period, leads to increased participation levels across a range of outdoor activities. Theme parks, visitor attractions and music festivals remain popular leisure activities amongst all age groups during the summer. 41% of parents with children aged 18 and under visited a theme park in the month to July 2023, with brands such as Thorpe Park and Alton Towers offering discounts and special events for all the family to participate in and enjoy.”

              Trusted by global industry leaders

              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.

              Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson

              Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

              Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

              Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

              We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

              They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.

              Abby Carvosso, Group Managing Director, Bauer Media Group

              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.

              Zac Steele, E-Commerce Trading Development Manager, Waitrose & Partners

              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.

              Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton
