What is this report?
This report offers a comprehensive overview of purchase behaviour, product, and brand scanning, with a specific focus on European handymen. Brand preferences are covered for each country, showing differences among spontaneous awareness, brand usage, and the most used brand, while the segment on purchase channels shows the type of buying behaviour and preferred channels handymen choose.
Within the report, you will discover the profiles of the handymen, their typical age span, what kind of companies they mostly work for, and in which kinds of construction projects they are typically involved. This information can assist you in refining, enhancing, or developing your business strategies targeted at handymen. Our research is based on quantitative telephone interviews conducted with 1.562 handymen, each representing firms with one or more employees, distributed across the 7 major European markets.
Why do you need this report?
Professional handymen are an important target group in building construction, but because they are part of such a broadly defined population, the professional handyman is hard to define and reach out to. As a result, professional handymen are a rarely researched target group, and very little is known about their business and behaviour. This monitor aims to solve that by profiling the professional handyman.
This report will provide key insights into handymen and their preferences in purchase channels, behaviour, and brand preference. Those details will be most beneficial to marketing departments, sales departments, and product development teams. These insights will be particularly valuable for manufacturers and wholesalers targeting this group, and with this information, they can optimize their business strategies. Furthermore, understanding handymen’s behaviour and preferences will facilitate fact-based internal discussions without the need for custom research.
How was the research conducted?

The report is built upon a representative sample of handymen from companies with a maximum of 4 full-time employees (including the owner) who are involved in at least 3 building construction activities. This research is conducted annually, with the reports covering various key marketing topics.
