Imbibing Consumers
December
27, 2011
The New York Times
By STEPHANIE CLIFFORD
After
enjoying a few drinks, some people go dancing. Others order food. And for some,
it’s time to shop online.
“I have my account linked to my phone, so it’s really easy,” said Tiffany
Whitten, of Dayton, Ohio, whose most recent tipsy purchase made on her
smartphone — a phone cover — arrived from Amazon much to her surprise. “I was
drunk and I bought it, and I forgot about it, and it showed up in the mail, and
I was really excited.”
Shopping under the influence has long benefited high-end specialty retailers —
witness the wine-and-cheese parties that are a staple of galleries and
boutiques. Now the popularity of Internet sales has opened alcohol-induced
purchases to the masses, including people like Ms. Whitten, who works in
shipping and receiving and spent just $5 on the cat-shaped phone cover.
Chris Tansey, an accountant in Australia, went shopping online after drinking
late one night (to be precise, it was well into the morning). By the end of the
session, he had bought a $10,000 motorcycle tour of New Zealand.
“The hang-ups of spending your hard-earned cash are so far removed from your
life when you’ve had a bottle of wine,” Mr. Tansey said in an e-mail. The New
Zealand trip was terrific, he said. But a pair of $3 sunglasses on eBay “turned
out to be horrible fakes, with $17 of postage that I obviously didn’t see with
beer goggles.”
Online retailers, of course, can never be sure whether customers are inebriated
when they tap the “checkout” icon. One comparison-shopping site, Kelkoo, said
almost half the people it surveyed in Britain, where it is based, had shopped
online after drinking.
But while reliable data is hard to come by, retailers say they have their
suspicions based on anecdotal evidence and traffic patterns on their Web sites —
and some are adjusting their promotions accordingly.
“Post-bar, inhibitions can be impacted, and that can cause shopping, and
hopefully healthy impulse buying,” said Andy Page, the president of Gilt Groupe,
an online retailer that is adding more sales starting at 9 p.m. to respond to
high traffic then — perhaps some of it by shoppers under the influence.
On eBay, the busiest time of day is from 6:30 to 10:30 in each time zone. Asked
if drinking might be a factor, Steve Yankovich, vice president for mobile for
eBay, said, “Absolutely.” He added: “I mean, if you think about what most people
do when they get home from work in the evening, it’s decompression time. The
consumer’s in a good mood.”
Nighttime shopping is growing over all. ChannelAdvisor, which runs e-commerce
for hundreds of sites, says its order volumes peak about 8 p.m., and that
shoppers are placing orders later and later: in 2011, the number of orders
placed from 9 to midnight increased compared with previous years.
A recent array of nighttime offers sent to a shopper’s e-mail inbox included:
from 6 to 9 p.m., a limited-quantity sale on fashions at Neiman Marcus; at 7:38
p.m., a promotion for three-day stays at Loews hotels; at 8:44 p.m., a promotion
by Gilt for macaroons and faux-fur blankets; and at 2:23 a.m., an offer by Saks
for a $2,000 gift card with purchase.
At QVC, the television shopping channel, traffic and viewers rise around noon,
then quiet down until after 7 p.m. Then items like cosmetics and accessories
sell briskly. “Call them girl treats — they seem to attract a really strong
following once you get past dinnertime,” said Doug Rose, senior vice president
for multichannel programming and marketing for the company. “You can probably
come to your own conclusion as to what’s motivating her.”
Still, the nighttime spike requires delicacy among retailers: for reasons of
propriety, they do not want to be seen as encouraging drunken shopping, and many
people who inadvertently buy products in that state would most likely return
them at high rates. On the other hand, a happy customer can lead to higher
sales.
“In a shopping context, alcohol would lift people’s moods and make them feel
more relaxed,” said Nancy Puccinelli, an associate fellow at the Oxford’s Saïd
Business School who studies consumer behavior. “If we see a product and we feel
good, we will evaluate the product more positively.”
Alcohol-fueled purchases, however, could lead to problems, she said. Even with
online retailers storing credit card information and offering one-click
checkout, alcohol reduces working memory, which means “at the time of purchase,
you wouldn’t have the cognitive ability to think through. If you think about a
sweater: is this the right size, is it the right color,” she said.
Kristin A. Kassaw, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Baylor,
said online shopping while drunk could have serious financial consequences.
“When you’re loading things you can’t feel or touch into this fake cart, you
don’t have a sense of, ‘I’m buying all this stuff, I’m buying too much.’ It
takes you away from the actual spending-money experience,” she said.
In actual stores, despite the longer hours around the holidays, intoxicated
shoppers seem to be rare — but when they do appear, they can be quite
disruptive.
On Thanksgiving night around 11 p.m., a shopper at a Walmart in Florence, Ala.,
was stumbling in the aisles and grabbing onto items; police officers shot him
with a stun gun and charged him with public intoxication. At a Best Buy in
Lufkin, Tex., a drunken man disappeared into a bathroom around 4 a.m. on Black
Friday and tried to flush a cable down the toilet, apparently to avoid being
caught shoplifting.
And in Scarborough, Me., early on the Friday after Thanksgiving, a man was
arrested as he drove out of a Cabela’s parking lot, where he had ostensibly been
drinking all night as he waited for the store to open.
Amanda Schuster, a wine-and-spirits writer and consultant in Brooklyn, says she
never shops in actual stores after drinking, but she finds it hard to resist the
Web. “It feels productive in a way — like I didn’t just come home drunk and pass
out, I went home and did something,” she said.
That something tends to be buying used CDs at Amazon. When an unexpected package
shows up, “I try to backtrack a little bit, and I look in to my purchasing
history, and I’m like, oh, yeah,” she said.
Regrets? She has a few.
“When did I get ‘Heart’s Greatest Hits’?” she said.
