SheSpeaks Coronavirus Survey Wave 5
In an effort to better understand how shoppers are reacting to the impact of the Coronavirus, SheSpeaks asked women age 18+ across the US to share their thoughts and experiences related to sentiment, attitude and purchase behavior. We shared these results at a webinar with the Supplier Community on Thursday, May 7th.
This is the fifth survey in our series related to Shopper behavior since the country began to shut down in mid-March.
