How people feel about their financial prospects is key to much of their behavior. Each month The British Consumer Monitor tests the financial mood of the nation by asking people how they think their personal financial position will be in three months’ time. We ask it on a 5 point scale from Much Better to Much Worse and set the answers against all the other data we collect about them.
This means that not only can we tell the mood of the different sections of the population but, by linking it to other modules, we can see the likely effect on things like purchase behavior and influences to purchase.
We can even link it to Marketing Communication Channel preferences and, of course, all the geodemographic segmentation models.
