“Inflationary conditions are shaping consumer participation in leisure and entertainment activities. However, after years of restricted participation and an increased focus on mental wellness, consumers are looking more to trade-offs than to complete cutbacks. From a multicultural perspective, activity preferences and associated benefits like leisure time being good for mental wellness hold across segments. However, as differences between demographics are nuanced, limiting scope to simply race and ethnicity when addressing leisure and entertainment would mean missing out on crucial insights.”

                                                            Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

                                                            It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.

                                                            Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom

                                                            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.

                                                            Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus

                                                            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

                                                            We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

                                                            By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

                                                            For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
