Split Insights

The overperformance of "Not planning on it" among the waste-focused audience suggests (a) that they see refurnishing as a wasteful activity and (b) that there's a meaningful opportunity to educate them about eco-friendly furnishing options.

The overperformance of "Within 3 months" among the money-focused audience suggests an appetite for cost-effective furnishing options.

Further polling could retarget the waste-focused audience to test sentiment around eco-friendly forms of refurnishing — e.g., circular brands, thrifting, upcycling, etc.

Methodology

This poll was conducted among a prequalified TCD audience of likely adopters via distribution in 14 syndicated web articles. It received a total of 2,770 responses and generated segmented data across 4 primary contextual splits.

TCD surveys are embedded inline in contextually relevant web articles and newsletters. Survey participants self-select two times, first when deciding to consume the host content and then again when deciding to participate in the survey.

Contextual splits are determined by the topical focus and interests of the audience members participating in the survey. Split analysis explores the degree to which different messages — and the self-selected participants who seek them out — can shape consumer sentiment.
