British bed and mattress retailer, Dreams, has teamed up with housing and homelessness charity, Shelter, to help those currently homeless or at risk of it. The three-year partnership will see Dreams raise funds by appealing to colleagues, customers and communities, in addition to its £150,000 commitment towards the charity’s essential work.
Which causes have Dreams’ audiences supported in the recent past?
According to YouGov Profiles - which covers demographic, psychographic, attitudinal and behavioral consumer metrics - 3% of customers who would consider buying from Dreams have donated towards the housing and homelessness cause. A slightly higher proportion (5%) of the general British population have donated to this cause.
Of those who would consider purchasing from Dreams, 16% of respondents have donated to the health and medicine cause over the past three months. Animals (14%), children and young people (12%) and disability (7%) are some of the other top causes these customers have donated to.
Data from Profiles suggests that 45% of consumers who would consider making purchases from Dreams agree with the statement that they “like brands that are willing to get involved in social issues.” A slightly lesser proportion (40%) of the general British population also agree with the statement.
