In an effort to better understand how shoppers are reacting to the impact of the Coronavirus, SheSpeaks asked women in our community age 18+ across the US to share their thoughts and experiences related to sentiment, attitude and purchase behavior. This is the ninth survey in our series related to Consumer behavior since the country began to shut down in mid-March. SheSpeaks latest survey was fielded online on August 22-24, 2020 and 1,218 respondents completed the survey.
