Much has been said and written about how the average grocery basket is higher among those who navigate the store going counter-clockwise versus those who take a clockwise path. This has been hypothesized to be the effect of the side of the road we drive on and our psychological comfort, a right brand expressive state, and/or since being right-handed is more common, a greater ease of grabbing and loading the basket.

Subscription Boxes Boom
Subscription box services, where a recipient receives a package with surprises by mail every month, every other month, seasonally or quarterly have become quite a trend since their debut in 2010.

If the Shoe Fits…
After learning that some textbooks in Asia suggested all Americans wear their shoes indoors, Relevation hypothesized that wasn’t true. We undertook a research survey among a representative sample of 1,500 Americans to understand street/outdoor footwear inside. Although we disproved the “all”, it was still the majority. Overall, Americans claim to be wearing shoes 60% of the time spent indoors. Men wear their shoes indoors more than women.
Just over one quarter of Americans do claim they never wear shoes indoors. When not wearing shoes, socks (88%), going barefoot (68%) and then slippers (62%) are the most popular alternatives. Females are more likely than males to utilize slippers, flip flops or go barefoot.
