In its Canadian Shopper Study, released in January, BrandSpark’s research found that 78% of Canadians like trying new products, and 60% thought new products were better than old ones. Millennials had an especially strong interest in trying new products, with 85% showing interest in doing so, compared with 69% of seniors.
