Consumer Impacts of the Economy...It’s More Than Just Money!
Carol Berning, Ph.D., Retired Research Fellow, Victor Mills Society, The Procter & Gamble Company

Consumer ImpactsEveryone is talking about the economy and how it’s affecting jobs, housing, taxes and more. How much do we really understand? How are the changes in the economy affecting consumer life and the purchasing of consumer products? We’ll talk about some of the impacts of the economic roller coaster on family life and on consumer decision making—including “gender reversals” and boomer issues such as long retirements. Some conference attendees will conduct actual qualitative consumer research while in New Orleans and we’ll incorporate their up-to-the-minute learnings into this thought provoking topic!

10:15 am – 10:30 pm
