Social media plays a key role in the digital revolution and retail landscape. A partnership between Euromonitor International and Twitter analyzed Twitter users' holiday shopping journeys, finding that most used Twitter for research, reviews and deals. The majority of purchases were planned in advance. Post-holiday, Twitter was used to share about gifts and conduct further research. Retailers are advised to leverage partnerships and insights to proactively engage customers on social media platforms like Twitter.
