Canadian holiday shoppers are value-led, brand-fluid and well-researched. That creates an opportunity for brands to use digital to reach new prospects, build consideration and drive outcomes with strong price-convenience messaging and personalized offers.

  • 47% Canadian consumers plan to shop 1-2 months in advance
  • 72% Consumers are likely to use AI for product research and discovery

To win the holiday season, brands must show up in moments that shape buying decisions and streamline the online-to-store journey.
