The fact is confirmed by the comparison of the findings, obtained by Romir on the eve of 2010 with the data from Omnibus survey from August 2008... Get it while it’s cheap! 140 grams against 2 kilos! 20 January 2010 For Russians, the almost double decline of prices for red caviar became a pleasant exception from the general pricing bacchanalia in 2009. About this testify the numbers from Romir’s household scan panel SCIF (Shopper Centric Information Flow) which measures everyday household consumption of large Russian cities with over half a million inhabitants... Despite the tough 2009, Russia has not lost hope in the future 20 January 2010 Most Russians are extremely hopeful about the new 2010 year. According to the results of the survey, conducted by research holding Romir, 39% of Russia’s citizens expect 2010 to bring changes for the better. The share of those disposed pessimistically is twice lower and makes up only 18.3%. 34.9% of respondents are somewhat cautious about the future... Crisis no hindrance for a banquet 19 January 2010 According to the data from Romir Research Holding*, in 2009 crisis-year December, the inhabitants of large Russian cities spent twice as much on food and basic goods than in trouble-free January 2008. For sure, it’s not all correct to parallel December and January, yet even in comparison with December 2008 the everyday expenditures in December 2009 spiked almost by a quarter, or, to be completely accurate by 22%... Swine Flu: Concern grows Concern about Swine Flu 5% up worldwide, 10% up in Russia 2 December 2009 Personal concern about swine flu in Russia increased by 10% since July 2009. In November 2009 four out of ten (39%) of Russians expressed higher or lower concern about swine flu, while in July it was only 29%. The similar global indicators made up 34% and 29% respectively... Optimism on the rise, caution remains Despite the overall rise of optimism, consumers are still careful with their expenses 27 November 2009 More than a half (52%) of Russians made cutbacks on entertainment, about the same (48%) reduced their expenses on major household purchases and 46% narrowed down their budgets on holiday and travel. And yet, the results of the international survey place Russia amongst the five countries which citizens had managed without appreciable cutbacks within the past three months. And even though consumers in our country and in the world are still careful with their expenses, they cut back considerably less than three months ago... The Crisis: Russians emotionally affected, yet optimistic «Romir» presents the third wave of Worldwide Barometer of the Financial Crisis 9 September 2009 Every fifth (21%) Russian expects the country’s economic situation to improve within the next 3 months, however, more than half (56%) of our country-fellows say the crisis affects their emotional and psychological statå. The indicator practically equals the global level (only two points below the countries average of 54%). Romir holding continues to publish the results of the international study “Worldwide Barometer of the Financial Crisis”... A quarter of Russians more sensible to discounts 25 August 2009 Over a quarter (27%) of Russians has started to pay more attention to discounts and special offers in point of sales within the past 3 months. No less than 63% of our country fellows claim they are not more sensible to price promotions, sales and other promotions, while 6% of the citizens say they take less notice of “special offers” from shops and stores... Russians are positive about the idea of adoption, yet not ready to have a foster child 29 July 2009 More than half (56%) of Russians regard adoption of children from orphanages positively, however, only 3% of our country fellows are ready or more like ready to accept a foster child into their families. Although the tendency unites all Russians, we can still trace some differences in the answers of the respondents. While only 16% of people, residing in millionaire cities, could characterize their attitude towards the subject as “very positive”, for the cities with the population of 100 – 500 thnd. and the rural area the indicator has hit a third of the respondents (34% and 33% respectively). Thus, the residents of megapolises, busy fighting for survival in “concrete jungles”, appeared to have a much more reserved attitude towards the matters of adoption as compared to other research participants... We weren’t born yesterday Practically three-fourths of Russians handle their holidays on their own 24 July 2009 Only a quarter of Russians (23%) handle their holidays through travel agencies, while nearly three quarters (71%) of our fellow citizens claim to be managing entirely on their own. An interesting fact is that among women the share of those who get their travel packages from agencies is higher than among men (29% and 17% respectively). The representatives of the high-income segment turn to travel agencies more frequently, too. A third (35%) of the citizens with above-average income prefers seeking professional help. Romir continues publishing the results of the All-Russia online-survey* on the way Russian people spend their summer leaves... |
