Driving CX the entire store team can rally around
Much of my time is spent speaking with retail leaders, developing thought partnership CX strategy and quite honestly, spending time in stores. On a recent morning, I arrived at a mid-box retailer where they were just completing their morning huddle.

Why Values Still Matter
In the final installment of our latest Consumer Insights Report, we take a look at a key, if often undersung consideration – the long-term beneficial impacts of understanding and acting on the ethical concerns of your consumer base (in case you missed them Parts 1, 2, and 3 are all still available).

The Increasingly Thoughtful Customer

In Parts 1 and 2 of our Inflation Report, we looked at the cross-generational impacts of inflation and how global price rises on daily necessities are impacting consumer habits respectively. 

In Part 3 of the report, we turn our eye to how inflation is leading to a new consumer mindset overhaul – one less inclined to discretionary purchases, yet at the same time more willing to potentially try new retail options.

While in Part 1, we explored the varying impacts of inflation across the generations, in Part 2, we take a look at how the inflationary impact on essential consumptions, like groceries and petrol, is shaping the way the modern consumer approaches retail.
