Evolution of Commerce: Tightening the Purse Strings

UK economic factors including high levels of instability are provoking recessionary fears among British shoppers more than any other market, so, unsurprisingly, they’re looking to manage their budgets and cut extra spending where possible.

Key takeaways include:

Value at no added cost

Price-sensitive UK consumers want to see free shipping and deals at checkout.

Brands shouldn’t rely on loyalty benefits as a way to beat the competition.
