Wine Decisions
To truly understand what drives and influences consumer behaviour during these challenging times, some in-depth analysis is needed. Whilst there is a wealth of data and insight around wine consumer behaviour within the On Trade and the wider Off Trade (with much of the data for the latter coming from the UK’s Supermarkets), there remains a distinct lack of research into consumers’ wine buying habits from Independent Specialist Wine Retailers.

SEE MOREGeneration Z: Beyond Booze
Originally presented at the Low+No 2023 event, these slides explore the changing relationship which Generation Z seem to have with alcohol compared to previous generations and what implications this may have for the future of socialising. Based on research carried out in partnership with Lucky Saint in May 2023.
SEE MORELow and No 2023
KAM have carried out a deep-dive research study, in partnership with Lucky Saint, into the current attitudes and behaviour towards Low and No alcohol. The report shows that the movement has gone beyond January, it’s becoming ingrained in people’s lives throughout the year. With as many UK adults actively moderating during the summer as they do during ‘Dry January’, moderating has moved beyond a single month in the year, and beyond simplistic definitions of ‘drinkers’ and ‘non-drinkers’. For venues, the opportunity remains. With massive numbers still entering the category, we need to provide consumers with the best possible experience whatever the occasion.
SEE MOREEmployee Engagement Services in Hospitality
With the vacancies the industry is experiencing at the moment for a variety of reasons, it puts importance on making sure employees are happy, motivated and retained. Based on online interviews conducted in February 2023 with 500 hospitality employees across all sub-sectors of the industry, this report looks at how businesses can make themselves an attractive place to work through engaging their employees, ultimately driving recruitment, loyalty, retention as well as productivity.
SEE MOREThe State of The Hospitality Nation

The survey, which is produced in association with Mapal Group, sought to examine the key issues currently impacting the industry, whilst also looking ahead to what the next 12 months might bring. This research will allow businesses to benchmark their performance and experiences against the wider sector.

SEE MORECompetitive Socialising: Winning a New Occasion 2023
Unlike with the paradox of choice where less is more, the increase in options for customers is only going to be a good thing, but that does mean that they will likely become more demanding, more knowledgeable and more particular when it comes to the venue of choice. Therefore, to win in the growing sector, venues must deliver a great experience, which starts by understanding your customers and what they want.
