Survey report
Prepared 作出 by Katie Wong of DataPoint
A recent 最近 survey was carried out 進行 in several 幾個 major shopping areas in Hong Kong. The aim
目的 of the survey was a .
The survey was carried out b . During this time, 1500 teenagers, between the ages of 15 and 18,
were interviewed 訪問 about their shopping habits 習慣. The survey interviews took place 進行 in c,
major shopping streets and large shopping centres .
According to 根據 the survey results, the two most common reasons that teenagers go shopping are
to spend time with friends and to keep up with trends . Respondents reported that they preferred
physical shopping . However 但是, many teenagers noted that they saw ads on their social media feeds
and said that they often bought impulsively . When asked about how they heard about the items they
decided to buy, shops, social media and search engines were among the most common sources of
information.
From these results, we can make the recommendation that 1. future surveys might benefit by
sampling respondents in a wider variety of locations and shopping areas, such as markets and small local
shopping centres, not just major shopping streets and large shopping centres. 2. if businesses want to reach a
teenage market, they should place more emphases on social media marketing. 3. a statement about our data
retention and usage policies should be included on the survey form .
