We asked 1,000 furniture shoppers when they decided to buy online or walk into a store—and the findings may challenge what retailers expect.

At Furniture Today Leadership Conference 2026, we’ll reveal the results for the first time, giving attendees an inside look at the moments that can determine whether retailers win the customer or lose them to a competitor.

Discover when shoppers make up their minds, why local customers search for your store but never walk in, and which consumers are coming back to stores.

Leadership attendees will get first access to the data before it’s published anywhere else.
