SAN FRANCISCO – September 3, 2019 – Womply, a CRM and marketing software company serving small businesses, today published its second annual State of Local Retail report – a comprehensive look at consumer spending patterns at small, independent retail stores in all 50 states and the District of Columbia during all 365 days of the year.
Powered by analysis of 52,000 retail locations in every corner of America for every day of the 2018 calendar year, the report reveals a wide range of patterns in consumer spending at local retailers, including how sales trend during the days of the week, months of the year, and on major holidays
Among the major findings, the report reveals Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Black Friday, and the Friday and Saturday before Christmas comprise five of the top six days of the year for consumer spending, suggesting local retailers are the preferred destination for last-minute shoppers.
The findings are publicly available on Womply.com and shed light on a number of questions facing local retailers, including:

Armed with these insights, we hope retailers become more empowered to make data-backed decisions that positively impact their bottom line.”
Nationally, local retailers see an average of 13 transactions per day at a purchase price of $74.65, resulting in daily revenue of $961. Based on average daily revenue, the top 10 states for local retail sales are:
The report uncovered a surprisingly low seasonal lift during the winter holidays, with the period from Black Friday to Christmas Eve accounting for just 10% of yearly revenue. Some additional findings about top-revenue periods include:
