As we have all adapted to a new way of living in the face of Covid-19, the everyday decision-making process of consumers when they invest in a product or service has gone through some significant changes in the last year.
Whilst organisations are using customer journey analysis tools to understand the customer decision-making process, brands across industries now have to work harder to adapt and revaluate their analysis of customer behaviours because of the disruption to the regular buyer journey patterns.

Comparing Decision-Making Processes by Country
Top search trends in different countries in 2020:
- UK: craft molds, hand sanitisers, disinfectant wipes, bicycle brake parts, neck gaiters, air conditioning and disposable gloves.
- USA: sprinkler controls, sneeze guards, household disinfectants, neck gaiters and protective masks.
- Germany: sprinkler controls, hula hoops, protective masks, motorboats, hand sanitisers and masks.
- France: protective masks, hand sanitiser and wipes, model making, disposable gloves, vehicle waxes, polishes and protectants.

By analysing search trends, we can understand what people are thinking about, what their priorities are and what’s influencing their purchases. As you can see, there are both international trends and country to country variations.
Brands can develop a more insightful and tailored marketing approach by delving into the minds of consumers. For example, it is clear that Covid-19 has influenced people and their purchasing decisions through the prevalence of search terms like ‘hand sanitiser’ and ‘disposable gloves’. However, searches also suggest lockdown has created more time for hobbies and leisure activities with ‘motorboats’ and ‘bicycle brake parts’ found amongst the top searches.
Gathering data is an important first step, but being able to interpret and correctly analyse can offer you new insights into consumers’ decision-making process. This includes identifying overarching international trends, as well as the different priorities that are unique to each country and culture.
