"This holiday season, men are expected to spend more than women — $20 more on average — according to the National Retail Federation. They also spend less time in stores — about half according to a survey by Consumer Reports — and they are also likely to put in more online research time."
“Typically we find that 40% of the male test population are actually purchasing for themselves or single households,” said Michael Mantini, an Associate Buyer for the category at Sears. “Females are typically buying for the family, while 70% of game room customers are married with children.”
There’s pool tables, ping pong and air hockey, and makeovers of customers recreation rooms captured on video. Kind of a blueprint to guys with aspirations. Electronics, fitness equipment, home theater and video games play a role here, but there’s an overall man cave theme that goes beyond a giant TV.
Once again, these aren’t cheap items, ranging from $350 for an air hockey game to $1,550 for a pool table. All are on sale for the holiday’s, anywhere from $100 to $450 off, but this isn’t typical discount store goods."
