The balance of power
Over the decades, we have witnessed a shift towards greater equality in both our domestic and public lives. Our quantitative study of UK 1000 respondents (with family households of 3+ people) uncovered new insights into how these modern household decisions are made, and the evolving influence of media channels.
Everyone has a say
The modern-day household encourages collaboration, rather than depending on one sole decision maker to absorb all purchase responsibility. People perceive they hold between half to three-quarters of total influence in the decision-making process, leaving the remainder to the rest of their household members. In fact, parents state for every purchase decision made, every family member has some form of influence or opinion to be considered.
