More like wait-and-see than pent-up demand

It seems that the Savannah-Metro area will experience more of a U-shaped recovery in consumer spending, rather than a sharp V. The COVID-19 Savannah-Metro Consumer Survey - conducted by a Savannah-based marketing research firm: Sol Insights - indicates that significant percentages of local consumers intend to reduce spending across discretionary categories, both in the summer and the rest of the year.
  • Nearly 50% of respondents said their income was negatively impacted by COVID-19
  • Around one-in-four respondents intend to spend less on discretionary categories through the rest of 2020
  • 39% said they were highly concerned about a member of their household or themselves contracting the virus
  • 41% say that hygiene factors will be most important in determining local businesses at which to make purchases; 31% say restoration of normal service is most important.
  • 66% claimed they were to receive CARES Act funds, with two-thirds listing 'paying debts' or 'paying bills' as the primary use of the CARES Act funds.
