Based on the latest IRI Point of View, this webinar will closely examine the
shopping behaviors and saving strategies the Downturn Generation group is
adopting during the current economy and which of those strategies will remain,
even after an economic recovery. This session will also outline nine strategies
for CPG manufacturers and retailers to take maximum advantage of today’s new
opportunities by generating uplift among these shoppers. Successful
manufacturers and retailers must recognize that a significant portion of their
shoppers will carry on with their frugal practices well into the future and will
rewire their businesses to take advantage of the opportunities downturn thinking
generates.
