Background and ObjectivesBackground and Objectives

On behalf of CHA, Ipsos conducted the CHA Attitude & Usage study in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The study resumed in 2005.

The main objectives of the survey are to:

Estimate and track sales by distribution channel.

Determine and track participation rates in the US by craft & hobby category.

Provide an in-depth analysis for crafters:

Demographic; Attitudinal; Behavioral.

Document shopping patterns of the US Craft & Hobby Market


Research ApproachResearch Approach

There are two phases to this research:

Screening is conducted among the Ipsos Insight Mail Panel to identify crafters. On an annual basis, the screener is sent to 50,000 households (25,000 twice a year).

Monthly Diary. A mail diary is sent to craft/hobby participants identified in the screener (1,025 are sent with a gain of about 500 completed interviews per month).

The data is collected on amonthly basis and reportedquarterly to CHA, at whichtime it is posted on amembers only area of theCHA website (www.craftandhobby.org).

Reading the Store Layout

A cross-participation analysis has shows what crafts are likely to be participated in within the same household.

The crafts are grouped into "aisles" based on participation. Crafters are more likely to participant in crafts within a aisle than crafts in different aisles.

The bubble size is the participation rate – a bigger bubble means more participants and more potential purchases.

The intra-aisle distance between bubbles represents how crafters participate in multiple craft types.
