New Report Promises to Help Shoppers Significantly Cut Their Expenses

The economic downturn has forced shoppers to curtail budgets and rethink expenses for the holiday season. According to Accenture's Holiday Shopping Survey, 14% of consumers will not buy gifts for friends and colleagues. Furthermore, the majority of consumers (76%) expect to spend less this Christmas season to prepare for and survive the tough economic conditions ahead.

As dismal as this may sound, it doesn't necessarily have to be true. Neuron has developed a special report to help holiday shoppers significantly trim their budgets while still being able to buy everyone's gifts.

According to Neuron Global, people don't need to shop less—they just need to shop smarter. The company recently launched a new report to address this exact issue, Strategies for the Smart Shopper: How to Cut Costs while Maintaining Your Lifestyle. The report is a thoroughly researched, step-by-step guide that promises to save shoppers hundreds of dollars on their holiday spending and help families save up to $1298 on their retail expenses over the year.

The report contains reviews of innovative online tools and often unused resources that when combined with Neuron's 5 steps can help ease the financial pressures of shopping during a difficult recession. The interactive report is the result of hundreds of hours of research, interviews and analyses conducted by Neuron Global Inc, a company who has written customized reports for Harvard Business School, the World Bank, MIT and the Society of Organizational Learning among others.

This report was created in response to a survey that was conducted at the beginning of October. In the online survey, 66% of respondents replied that finding ways to cut costs while maintaining their lifestyles was either important or very important to them.

Neuron Global's president, Sedarius Tekara Perrotta said, “I've been personally looking for a report like this for years, the recent survey we conducted gave us a reason to write one.” He goes on to say, “I was both shocked and amazed at the report's findings. I hope it's as valuable a learning experience for our readers as it has been for us as a company.”

Strategies for the Smart Shopper: How to Cut Costs while Maintaining Your Lifestyle is the first of a Recession Series that covers five parts of daily life: Retail, Groceries, Entertainment & Travel, Home & Transportation and Healthcare. The information in all five reports claims to help save an average family over $5,000 a year and a single person almost $3,000 a year.
