With much of the world experiencing economic uncertainty and consumers tightening their belts, what strategies should businesses adopt to thrive over the next three years?
NBT founder William Higham has created a brand new talk to help companies answer this question – and build an effective strategy to reach tomorrow’s Cash-Poor Consumer.
The talk reveals how a pent-up desire for spending is combining with a decline in disposable income to create a new consumer mindset: that is both value- and values-driven. It explores the implications for product and purchase choice: and suggests practical ways that businesses can respond.
