Pressbox (Press Release) -
New research has revealed that Google searches for the perfect outdoor viewing setup have increased 59% since January coinciding with Euro 2021 starting this month
This is in stark contrast to searches for holidays which have increased by just 1% in the same period despite restrictions easing and the introduction of a traffic light system allowing more flexibility
Searches for ‘Outdoor TV’s’ have increased by 1,275% from January to May as Brits look for the perfect telly to catch the football
Outdoor Heaters have seen an 83% increase as we’re all very aware that a UK summer doesn’t always equal sun!
There was also a 50% increase in searches for Garden Furniture and BBQs as we can start to welcome guests to our homes
Flight searches stall
Holiday searches have increased by just 1% since January, despite the recent introduction of the Government’s traffic light system
Specific searches including the word ‘flights’ have dropped by 19% as Brits seem reluctant to go abroad
On the other hand, ‘weekend breaks for couples’ has increased by 171% - let’s just hope it’s not the weekend England are playing!
“With summer on its way and holiday restrictions showing no sign of easing, it’s no surprise that homeowners are choosing to invest in their outdoor space. The pandemic has resulted in improved pub beer gardens, and we’re seeing the ‘al fresco’ trend continuing in domestic gardens too.” Jamie Pugh - Marketing Manager, Roché Awnings
