A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that Australians spent an estimated $A37.8 billion online in the year to June 2015. About 4 in 10 Australians buy at least one product online during an average four-week period. The new State of the Nation Retail Spotlight report shows that 6.5 per cent of Australians aged 14+ now buy tickets to shows, movies or events online in an average four weeks. This is followed by travel (6.4 per cent), women’s clothing (5.6 per cent), books (5.2 per cent) and music downloads (4.8 per cent). Roy Morgan Research CEO Michele Levine says it is important that traditional retailers stop viewing online as a threat, and instead as an opportunity to reach and appeal to customers in different ways.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that a person’s Federal voting preference seems to influence the places they would like to take a holiday. The survey, which was carried out in the year to September 2015, shows that Australian electors planning to vote L-NP are 25 per cent more likely than the average voter to name both the Murray Mallee-Mildura-Swan Hill and Toowoomba/Darling Downs regions as a potential domestic holiday destination. ALP voters are 24 per cent more likely to nominate areas of the ACT outside of Canberra, while electors intending to vote for the Greens are 128 per cent more likely to prefer Freycinet National Park and 123 per cent more likely to prefer the Mt Buffalo-Mt Baw Baw-Lake Mountain region. Overseas destinations which appeal to L-NP voters noticeably more than the average Aussie elector include the United Arab Emirates (28 per cent more likely) and the Philippines (21 per cent), whereas ALP voters are 15 per cent more likely to nominate India as somewhere they would like to visit.

ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence deteriorates – down to 112.8

The ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence rating for Australia fell by 1.5 per cent to 112.8 in the week ended 29 November 2015, taking the cumulative fall over the last three weeks to 3.3 per cent. The four-week moving average remains elevated; however, it is now trending downwards – suggesting that confidence has turned. The sub-index for consumers’ finances compared with a year ago fell by 5.1 per cent, while the sub-index for economic conditions in the next 12 months fell by 3.4 per cent. Roy Morgan Research executive chairman Gary Morgan says the continuing war in Syria and Iraq, and the threat of terrorism around the world, is having a clearly negative impact on Consumer Confidence and Australia’s economic fortunes. He adds that the best defence Australia can have against unrest overseas is for a strong economy in Australia – and this is why Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull must be prepared to make the tough decisions now to give Australia the best chance of strong economic growth, and continuing jobs growth, over the years ahead.
