New Report from Intuit Mailchimp Outlines Strategies for the Expanded Holiday Shopping Cycle
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, today announced the release of the Mailchimp report Holiday Shopping Unwrapped: Marketing Strategies for the Moments That Matte r, prepared in conjunction with Canvas8 and Marketoonist. Marketers can turn to this report for seasonal shopping cycles, enhanced insights into consumer behavior, and tailored marketing strategies for the duration of the holiday season—all drawing from expert commentary and a survey of 9,356 respondents across Australia, Benelux (Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands), Canada, Italy, Spain, Germany, Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, and Sweden), the United Kingdom, and the United States. The report unpacks consumer spending by examining a wide roster of personal, cultural, and community-driven 'moments,' a framework that debuted in the New E-commerce Calendar earlier this year. With an eye on the end-of-year sales rush, Holiday Shopping Unwrapped identifies a series of 7 phases that define the modern holiday shopping experience, each driven by its own set of emotional cues and purchasing habits. 'The key to effectively reaching holiday shoppers is understanding where consumers are—physically, emotionally, and culturally—during every phase of the holiday season,' says Jillian Ryan, Senior Manager of Content Strategy at Mailchimp. 'Our research provides a compelling look at these motivations, granting marketers new insights and strategies for connecting with shoppers.' For all the jokes about 'Christmas Creep,' the buying festivities do begin sooner than widely acknowledged: According to the report, 43% of shoppers made a purchase tied to at least 1 major sales moment during the Early Lead-up phase, which takes place during October. And while conventional wisdom often touts discounts and deals as a reason for the season, 52% of holiday shoppers say their primary motivation for purchasing during the holidays is to bring joy to others. Decoding the Holiday Season The holiday season unfolds over 7 distinct phases, each marked by unique emotional drivers, spending patterns, and shopping behaviors. Understanding these phases and the archetypal shopping behaviors that define them can be key to a successful holiday strategy. Early Lead-up: In October, holiday cheer can feel less like festive fun and more like a rogue party guest showing up too early. But for Gift-Giving Lifers, it's a perfect time to check off a Christmas list—in part motivated by a sense of pride in telling others they're finished. A prime indicator? Of the US shoppers who considered making a purchase during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days that month, 69% were buying gifts for others. Pre-peak Sales: By November, audiences grow more receptive to holiday cues like music and films. For Joyful Shoppers, the desire to give something meaningful often outweighs the allure of a discount. For shoppers buying gifts for others during the holiday season, 31% fewer shoppers say price is an influential factor compared to other times of the year. Peak Sales: This deal-driven phase is where most shoppers use peak events like Black Friday to buy gifts for others and themselves; a whopping 75% of global shoppers have made a purchase associated with at least 1 moment during this phase. Discount Devotees, a key audience for these moments, are a broad group united by their relentless pursuit of a great deal and the feeling of having outsmarted the system. Festive Phase: Early December is a dynamic and emotionally charged period; some consumers are in the middle of holiday shopping, while others are just getting started. During this phase, 26% of shoppers made a purchase—often driven by regional traditions like St. Nicholas Day, for which 48% of Beneluxian and German shoppers made a purchase. It's a popular shopping time for the Curators, who take their time hunting for gifts with a story. Last-minute Sprint: The days leading up to Christmas are a mix of festive celebration and last-minute prep, as some settle into traditions while others race to wrap up their to-do list. The Last-minute Listers are anxious about gifts arriving on time—and they'll turn to any brand that can help them cross the finish line. This is a crucial audience during this phase; 78% of those who consider a purchase on Super Saturday—the last Saturday before Christmas—are buying gifts for others. Betwixtmas: Between Christmas and the New Year, consumers enter an indulgent phase driven by post-holiday relief. Here, the Self-Gifters take matters into their own hands: 68% of Australian, Canadian, and UK shoppers who consider a Boxing Day purchase are buying for themselves. New Year: During this period, consumers shift from festive giving to self-reflection and renewal. The Self-Improvers are using January sales to support their resolutions—particularly in Europe, where 63% of shoppers participating in these sales are purchasing items for themselves. Navigating these many moments can be a complex and time-consuming challenge for marketers, but understanding what customers want—not just through survey data and expert advice, but also from the kinds of real-time marketing and financial insights and tools provided by the Intuit platform—can make all the difference. 'This report tells us that marketers have clear opportunities to reach customers, regardless of whether or not they're offering deals or are operating outside of traditional shopping periods,' says Ryan. 'There are all kinds of shoppers—and a single consumer can embody different archetypes as the season ebbs and flows. This new research builds on Mailchimp's tradition of helping marketers understand and segment their audiences so the right message finds the right customer at the right time.'

Venu Holding Corporation to Add Cutting-Edge Digital Product to Its Existing Platform for Music Fans Globally
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the 'Company') (NYSE American: VENU), a developer, owner, and operator of upscale live music venues and premium hospitality destinations, announced today its intention to launch a digital, blockchain-powered service in early 2026 to extend VENU's entertainment ecosystem into homes, mobile phones, automobiles, and beyond through new, tokenized layers of membership and rewards for music fans. Leveraging cutting-edge blockchain technologies through partnerships with crypto industry leaders, the service is intended to redefine the concept of digital ownership, allowing fans to engage more directly with the Company's planned soft ticketing platform - a model that reflects growing demand for flexible, digital-first access to live entertainment. Leveraging next-gen blockchain technologies through partnerships with crypto industry leaders, the service is intended to redefine digital ownership, allowing fans to engage more directly with the Company's planned soft ticketing platform Share J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU, explained, 'VENU intends to own the narrative around digital engagement with fans, dramatically improving live-streamed entertainment while unlocking totally new experiences for fan ownership. As we continue to roll out our physical VENU platform, with the opening of three new amphitheaters in 2026 and a target of 25 amphitheaters and 15 indoor entertainment complexes by 2030, we will own over 350,000 seats, which should equate to over 20 million annual tickets sold with over $2 billion in gross ticket sales volume.' 'One of the most exciting opportunities in financial technology is 'real world asset' tokenization – the opportunity to use a technology wrapper to bring tangible goods or services to the blockchain, supercharging their utility. The first use-case to achieve product-market fit was dollar-backed stablecoins; today, there are more than $250 billion in circulation. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said on CNBC this month that 'tokenization is an innovation,' and we agree. The next step could be the tokenization of new types of assets, and at VENU, we see an opportunity to potentially tokenize our seats, our soft ticketing platform, and our overall fan experiences.' Roth continued, 'A blockchain-powered soft ticket experience should significantly increase overall ticket sales while inviting a much larger audience to enjoy unique and invaluable live experiences within the VENU ecosystem. As our VENU network grows, a digital engagement layer can unify benefits across our properties, reduce friction in soft ticketing and rewards, and create a direct channel to our superfans and partners. I believe this will catapult VENU into becoming a global distributor of live music.'
