Some good news, some bad news, but always relavant to the times we live Sat, 05 Sep 2009 13:54:58 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Allyn http://www.retailnewsblog.com/2009/01/consumer-confidence-and-its-intrinsic-relationship-with-retail/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Allyn Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:41:01 +0000 http://www.retailnewsblog.com/?p=25#comment-3 I might be one of the few who thinks consumer confidence is not as bad as it sounds. Our shitty economy has forced consumers to ask themselves what a purchase can really offer them in the long run. I think that’s healthy. A cup of coffee is no longer worth a $1.50 a day, but a few ounces of Folgers is worth $15.00 a month. I’m all for finding a better way of living and making responsible purchases. Maybe this recession will untimely build a smarter consumer and we’ll need to look within ourselves and the feature generation to build an economy that we feed instead of one that the depends on us.
