Webinar Overview:
CPG companies are experience significant disruption in their industry. Understanding what drives future consumer behavior will be critical to achieve CPG sales goals, profit margins, and strengthen retailer relations.

Many predictive methods in use today, however, continue to analyze historical trends and internal metrics, ignorning external influences on a consumer. Certain external factors such as income and wages can play a large role in how often a consumer buys a product, how much they buy, or if they switch to less expensive alternatives.

In this webinar, Sr. Economist Andrew Duguay will discuss:

  • How category spending can be influenced by income changes
  • How brands should understand their relationship based on consumers in various income brackets
  • Why “average weekly hours of all US employees” might be the most important indicator for category planning
