Dayketing is a new marketing concept that originates from campaigns run by companies since the middle of the 20th century. Based on market trends, large corporations adapt their communication techniques to launch specific commercial actions that make their business profitable. Examples include: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, World Book Day, Valentine’s Day or Christmas.
So much so that in recent years, everything has been boosted by «Amazon»‘s impact on the market and globalisation. As a result, today we can see a wide range of business opportunities such as: Prime Day, Cyber Monday, Black Friday and discounts on specific days.
Based on the data collected in the 6th Bankinter Consumer Finance report: «El Consumo en Dayketing» («Purchases on Dayketing»), female spending is the most prominent on these special consumer dates. However, men are the ones who have increased their average spending on purchases, even tripling that of women. According to this study, on Black Friday, men spent 71% and women 29%.
On the other hand, generation X (those born between 1961 and 1980) are the ones who spend the most on special days. However, the variant of purchasing is different between generations, with seniors (those over 60 years old) increasing their budget per purchase made.
The pandemic has changed consumer habits, boosting the performance of e-commerce activity. The report also reveals that user consumption levels are at the same level as in pre-pandemic times.
