2024 Mid-Year Macroeconomic Update Webinar
Navigating Consumer Shifts Amid Economic Challenges
Consumer inflation has shown signs of easing over the past couple of months, driven by a drop in gas prices and cooling core services inflation. However, elevated inflation continues to pressure consumers across different generations, leading to persistent value-seeking and trade-down behaviors. Many consumers are primarily deal searching and increasingly turning to private-label products. How can suppliers strategically adapt their product offerings to meet the evolving preferences of consumers amid economic challenges?
Join Cleveland Research Company on Wednesday, July 17 at 12:00 pm ET for our 2024 Mid-Year Macroeconomic Update Webinar.
