Have you noticed? This year, many people aren’t buying gifts for their partners—they’re choosing to ‘love their old self’ and buying gifts for themselves instead.??: I’ve noticed. A significant portion of single people are buying for themselves, and even married people are valuing ‘practicality’ and ‘experiences’ more, instead of just roses and chocolate.??: From my perspective in marketing, it’s obvious: it’s getting harder to justify the premium on flowers and jewelry, while games, skincare, and sports gear are selling more steadily.??: That’s related to changing consumer attitudes. With more pressure in life, people would rather spend money on things that ‘make me better’ instead of being led by holiday rituals.??: But that’s not very friendly to brands. Holiday-driven sales rely on explosive growth, while self-reward consumption is frequent and scattered—it’s harder to boost sales in just one day.??: Not necessarily. If cities, cultural tourism, and the restaurant industry turn ‘self-reward’ into an experience-based scenario, they can actually draw people out to spend.??: To put it plainly, stop saying ‘you must give something to your lover’ and switch to ‘you deserve it.’ Then make solid products—that’s how you get conversions.??: Yeah, maybe the meaning of holidays is changing—from proving something to others to being more honest with yourself and your relationships.
