Online Consumer Electronics Shoppers Are Buying More Frequently, Spending Less Per Purchase, Reports NPD’s Checkout

According to NPD's Checkout, a receipt mining service, online consumer technology sales were up 16 percent in the 12 months ending May 2018 versus the year prior, as online shopping continues to increase across the consumer electronics landscape[1]. Despite the rise in online dollar sales, the average spend per purchase declined seven percent year over year, indicating that while more purchases are being completed online, these transactions are increasingly from categories that have items with lower average selling prices, like cell phone accessories. Be alert to read related news.

While spending declined on a per purchase basis, overall annual spending per buyer increased to $590, partially driven by technology shoppers making nearly one additional consumer electronics purchase online in the timeframe.

According to NPD's Checkout E-commerce information, the percentage of the U.S. adult online buying population that made at least one consumer electronics purchase in the 12 months ending May 2018 increased by six percentage points from the year prior, reaching 43 percent buyer penetration[2]. The consumer electronics categories with the highest buyer penetration were cell phone accessories (22 percent), portable audio (18 percent), and mobile power (13 percent).

"Growing online purchase frequency, especially of lower priced 'grab and go' items such as phone cases, screen protectors, portable chargers, and wired headphones, is shifting customer traffic from in-store to online," said Stephen Baker, vice president, industry advisor for The NPD Group. "This shift is why today's retailers focus on driving consumers into the store for big ticket, highly interactive purchases like TVs, where a benefit can be seen to shopping in a physical store, and allowing the online channel to focus on more transactional consumer interactions."

Western International Announces Speaker Michael Pachter at its National Sales Conference

Western International Securities Inc., an independent broker and advisor firm, will hold its National Conference August 15-18, 2018 at the Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, California.

In addition to equity analyst Pachter's take on the future of the electronic industry, the conference will again feature a variety of breakout sessions that provide the latest information on marketing to different generations, Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), cyber security updates and cybercrime's role in financial security and updates to lobbying efforts for the benefit of small independent brokers.

Michael Pachter is an oft-quoted video game, social media, digital media and electronics analyst with Wedbush Securities. He is also the Head of Research for the Private Shares Group, a Wedbush division which focuses on companies which have not yet gone public such as Facebook (pre-IPO) and Twitter.

An entertaining and irreverent speaker, Pachter hosts his own online show called Pach-Attack![5] Known to be both controversial and candid, Pachter is also known to analyze specific video game companies and other aspects of the video game industry, such as retailers. He regularly criticizes corporate practices and defends the concerns of video gamers. Pachter is regularly cited by national publications in the United States, including The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal. Pachter has an MBA and two law degrees. Prior to his tenure at Wedbush, Pachter worked for 16 years at Arco[1] where he was Arco's director of strategic planning until mid-1998.

He has been an analyst on video games for decades, and he is never shy about sharing his opinions on what has become a $137.9 billion business (according to market researcher Newzoo). While he may be loud and passionate about the tech world, he's also astute when it comes to observations about big tech companies such as Netflix, Amazon, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Electronic Arts, and Activision Blizzard". Says Andrew Kuo, Western's Managing Director for Operations and Technology. "His analysis and predictions generally follow with fervent discussion on message boards, mainly because of the controversial nature of some of his statements. He doesn't pull any punches."

Arlington Woman Surprised by $10k Prize from Neighborhood Credit Union

Being a consistent saver can bring unexpected rewards, one Arlington woman learned.

Inez Mackie was tending to her garden Wednesday morning as Neighborhood Credit Union leadership approached her with an oversized check for $10,000. The actual $10,000 prize was deposited directly into her Prize Savings Account at the credit union.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/mstoner-inc-and-clients-win-six.html

"You have got to be kidding me," she said. "That's going to go a long way on a road trip budget."

Mackie has been a member of the credit union for eight years where she has accounts for herself as well as savings accounts for her three great-grandchildren. She said she knew of the annual grand prize the credit union gives away but was shocked and surprised that she was a $10,000 winner.

"This is our way of showing our appreciation to Ms. Mackie for being a fantastic member," said Francis Santana, vice president of community relations. "She is obviously a dedicated saver and we really appreciate it."

Dallas-based Neighborhood Credit Union established the Prize Savings Account 10 years ago to encourage people to save more money at a time when the personal savings rate had dropped to one of the lowest levels in U.S. history. But by being a consistent saver, Mackie believes that it's very important to save every month for both regular use and emergencies.

"You just have to do it [save] first," Mackie said. "If it goes into your savings account before you get your hands on it, you won't spend it. Before you know it, you've accumulated a nice little emergency cushion."

When asked what she was going to do with her winnings, Mackie explained that she was going to use it to help fund a family trip back to her home state of Florida next summer.

See the Video of the surprise delivery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb8epN9FTs4

How the Prize Savings Account works: Neighborhood Credit Union members receive one drawing entry for every $25 monthly average balance in their Prize Savings Accounts. The greater the savings, the greater the chance a member has of winning. Members are eligible for monthly drawings up to $5,000 and quarterly $10,000 drawings. At the start of each year, a winner is drawn for the newly-increased $49,999.99 grand prize based on the average monthly balance in the savings account at close of business December 31. The upcoming 2018 drawing marks the 10th Anniversary Grand Prize Savings drawing for Neighborhood Credit Union.

About Neighborhood Credit Union: The oldest credit union in Dallas (chartered April 18, 1930), Neighborhood Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial organization serving Dallas, Denton and Ellis counties, as well as the City of Arlington. With branches in Dallas, Richardson, Arlington, Mesquite, Duncanville, Waxahachie, Lancaster, Grand Prairie, Coppell, and Highland Village, and assets topping $600 million, Neighborhood Credit Union has a membership of 49,000 and continues to welcome new members daily.
