CompareCards Financial Forecast Report
CompareCards Financial Forecast Report

Charleston, SC (PRWEB) April 22, 2015 -- CompareCards, a leading credit card comparison company, partnered with big data analytics and insight company, evolve24, to analyze consumer discussions about personal finance to discover what’s new, what’s changed, and where personal finance conversations are headed next.

“The data in this report shows what consumers are actually talking about in regard to personal finance, rather than what we think they are talking about or should be talking about,” said Chris Mettler, Founder of CompareCards.

Post this

In February 2015, more than 3.6 million conversations about personal finance were analyzed from various online mediums. Data was gathered from social networking sites, blogs, forums, websites, TV, radio, and conversations in magazines and newspapers. Patterns in these conversations determined what consumers were talking about, what consumers care about, and emerging trends.

“The data in this report shows what consumers are actually talking about in regard to personal finance, rather than what we think they are talking about or should be talking about,” said Chris Mettler, Founder of CompareCards. “By looking at millions of conversations we have true insight into what actually matters to consumers.”

The weather forecast-themed report is broken down into three categories including: New Developments, the “I” of the Storm and On the Radar.

  • New Developments: Conversations about “overspending on food” were discussed with more volume (~140,000 posts) than any other topic in February. Individuals recognized they were spending a lot of money on food and considered it a problem as they had less to spend in other areas. Most of the individuals who stated this is a problem said they would prefer to spend money on other things (as opposed to saving).
  • “I” of the Storm: “Identity theft” is this month’s big idea featured in the ‘I’ of the Storm. This area covers multiple concerns faced by consumers, including topics about tax fraud, data theft trials, and international hacking, all of which are primarily negative within their discussions.
  • On the Radar: The following topics are the most emotional topics, but have yet to become high in volume. If these topics gain attention and volume, they are likely to drive changes in behavior and beliefs.
  • Questions About Tax Fraud
  • Financial Planning
  • Tax Season
  • Income Tax Questions
  • Fraudulent Tax Returns
  • 800,000 Receiving Wrong Affordable Care Act Information
  • Fundraising and Charity

“We applied a series of analytics to every article we collected and identified topics of discussion as they emerged and changed. We used our metrics to measure these topics for their relative emotion,” said Tracie Gildehaus, vice president of partnerships and innovation, evolve24. “We believe the most emotional topics are the ones most likely to change beliefs or behaviors. These ‘most important’ topics are rarely the most discussed – but they are most likely to have a major impact on the emotions and actions of individuals.”
