Buy this, not that: Why purchase decision making is getting more complex
Today, we talk about purchase decision making or, more simply, the complicated process consumers go through before parting with their hard-earned cash. As companies go bust and in-store footfall declines, it may be tempting to declare the death of the high street/main street. The truth is, consumers are simply changing the way they approach shopping. Online and offline practices are more fluid than ever, while factors like social media, direct-to-consumer brands, and data-driven marketing contribute to further disruption. Join our analysts for an insight-packed conversation encompassing decision fatigue, the redefinition of value, and the impact of ethical practices and sustainability.
Whether commuting on the train, running in the park or sitting at your desk, Mintel’s podcast series ‘Little Conversation’ brings you fresh ideas, bold innovation and data-driven intelligence.
