COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on US Consumers

The COVID-19 global pandemic is changing the US consumer landscape. To understand these changes and how they affect our clients, aytm is conducting a weekly tracking study, which focuses on consumer attitudes and perceptions of the virus, its impact on their daily lives, changes in purchase and consumption behavior, and their outlook on the future.

The second wave of aytm’s COVID-19 Consumer Tracker was fielded Thursday, March 26, 2020 – Friday, March 27, 2020, using aytm’s survey platform and proprietary panel PaidViewpoint.
