While most people plan ahead for what they will buy during the holiday season, a majority of consumers also spend impulsively, spending money online on things they did not intend to buy.

The data shows that for the U.S. market, people in Florida, Ohio, and Illinois are particularly prone to impulse shopping. People in Florida, Michigan, and Alabama spend the most online. Sellers can target these people who are prone to impulse spending if they don’t sell essential items in the fourth quarter.
