Consumer Electronics Industry Promotional Volumes Declined Four Points During the Pandemic


“Discounting during this time was used much more strategically to target specific products and categories, where there was an opportunity to create incremental demand or gain market share versus the normal focus of using promotions to create demand.”

In a year during which many Americans relied on technology products to keep entertained and connected – to family, friends, work, and school – the U.S. consumer technology industry saw a historic 17% uptick in sales vs. 2019, according to The NPD Group Retail Tracking Service. High consumer demand, supply constraints, and cost increases led the industry to downshift the level of consumer electronics promotional activity from April- December 2020 compared to the same time period in 2019. This resulted in a four-point decline in the number of CE items sold on promotion from 65% of all items sold including a promotional discount in 2019 to 61% of items sold in 2020. [1]

While that decline might seem small, a recent NPD Price and Discount analysis reveals that the biggest shift was in the level of discounting that occurred. High demand categories, such as TVs and PCs, where promotion is often a driver of marketing and demand, not only saw a decline in the number of products sold on promotion, but a significant shift to lower discount levels than in the previous year.

For TVs the total share of sales on promotion dropped from 60% of volume in 2019 to 29% in 2020. But even more crucially in the largest screens we also saw a decline in the depth of the promotion. In 2019, 81% of TVs 60-inches and above sold on promotion saw a discount of at least 10%, but that percentage dropped to 67% in 2020. Similar trends were observed in notebooks where the $500+ class saw a decline in promotional depth, with the total number of items sold with at least a 10% discount declining from 78% of promotional sales to 70%. The shift away from more aggressive promotions, combined with a sales mix favoring premium products, resulted in a 3% increase in the average selling price (ASP). In the under $500 notebook segment, where promotional volume share fell from 60% to 32%, the ASP for a promoted product increased more than 10%.

“Interestingly, products that were promoted saw ASPs rise as the level of discounts declined and consumers chose to trade-up to more premium products,” said Stephen Baker, vice president, industry advisor for The NPD Group. “Discounting during this time was used much more strategically to target specific products and categories, where there was an opportunity to create incremental demand or gain market share versus the normal focus of using promotions to create demand.”

[1] Source: The NPD Group, Inc., Price and Discount Trends, April- Dec. 2020 vs. April- Dec. 2019. Promotion defined as having sold for >5% below full price. Consumer Technology categories included: home theater audio systems, LCD TVs, monitors, notebook computers, shelf systems, solid state drives, sound bars, stereo headphones, streaming audio speakers, and tablets.

Snaptron Adds a New Dual-Action Feature to Their DT-Series Tactile Domes


We are seeing designs getting smaller and more sophisticated,” said Ashley Steinbach, Director of Strategic Development. “This is requiring engineers to do more with limited space, presenting the need for multi-functional components like the DTSD dome.

Today, Snaptron announced a new feature to their DT-Series, also known as dual-touch tactile domes. The DT dome is similar to a standard four-legged metal dome, except one foot is shorter. The new feature, called “Continuous Dual-Touch,” maintains two separate electrical contacts through two actuations in a single dome switch.

The DT dome can detect two different force levels or actuation positions. The first position provides no tactile sensation but makes electrical contact. While the second position makes a second electrical contact—giving the tactile feedback synonymous with traditional domes switches.

The Continuous Dual-Touch Feature, indicated by DTSD in the part number, takes this functionality a step further. Two dimples located on the short foot ensure that the dome maintains electrical contact through both actuations. DTSD domes are beneficial when the first actuation plays a critical part in the switch’s full function; the second actuation is dependent on the first maintaining contact; or if both electrical contacts detect the state of a system.

“We are seeing designs getting smaller and more sophisticated,” said Ashley Steinbach, Director of Strategic Development. “This is requiring engineers to do more with limited space, presenting the need for multi-functional components like the DTSD dome.”

The DTSD dome also assists with off-center actuations while sustaining a consistent trip force. This design allows the first contact to work consistently, even when pressed at an angle or off-center.

DTSD domes come standard in 6mm, 7mm, 8.5mm, 10mm, and 12mm with forces ranging from 180g to 340g, depending on diameter, and life cycle ratings up to 5,000,000 cycles. All standard DTSD domes are nickel-plated. For custom options, contact Snaptron or visit https://www.snaptron.com/products/standard-domes/dt-series/ for more information.

“Koupon has made significant investments in its people, products and analytics to help CPG brands and Convenience Retailers make digital connections with their consumers,” said Augustine. “Age Restricted brands have the biggest opportunity to utilize Koupon’s products and services to leap forward with age-verified digital offers, but all CPGs can benefit from Koupon’s technology and experience.
