This is a database on consumer’s purchase behaviour of big-ticket items, e.g., baby furniture, boat, car stereo, fireplace, hot tub, ski equipment, TV, wedding services, etc. It describes the likelihood of purchases of these items in the next 2 years.
The database also includes consumer’s collection and redemption of loyalty points, e.g., Aeroplan, Air Miles, Canadian Tire money, Hudson’s Bay Rewards, Petro Points, Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum, Costco membership, etc.
Furthermore, the database describes the likelihood of household spending on grocery, bath and bedding, car wash, tableware, clothing, shoe, cross-border shopping, online shopping, flowers, furniture, garden supplies, hair salon, home décor, jewelry, small appliance, sporting goods, and toys. Household annual spending is grouped by four ranges: 1) Nothing, 2) $1 – $249, 3) $250 – $499 and 4) $500 or more.
This data product is based on the Return-To-Sample survey conducted by Numeris (formerly Bureau of Broadcast and Measurement) twice a year with a combined sample size of over 100,000 responders stratified across Canada. We extrapolated the survey data from the household level to the 6-digit postal code level by building predictive models to estimate the propensity of consumers belonging to each of the spending categories and range.
Companies use this database to identify segments of their customers/prospects and their spending potentials. They can also use the data for competitive analysis, positioning and up-sell/cross-sell of their products and services by segments.

This data product is based on the Return-To-Sample survey by Numeris, publications of Statistics Canada and Retailer Council Canada, Agriculture Canada, and Manifold’s predictive modeling techniques. We identified robust consumer media usage patterns in the survey data and built hundreds of predictive models to extrapolate them into the propensity score for each of the 800,000 6-digit postal codes in Canada.
Validation is performed with in- and out-of-phase survey data to ensure accuracy of the predictions.
