Grocery Private Practice The TNS Shopper 360 annual survey takes an in-depth look at store-brand shoppers in the new economy. T By Winnie Lopez he fall of 2008 saw the Sept. 29 stock market slump of 778 points (the worst in over two decades), Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy and a rejected first government bailout of the financial industry. The most recent release of the TNS Shopper 360 survey was fielded from Sept. 10, 2008, through Oct. 19, 2008, in the midst of an economic downturn unprecedented for the majority of the U.S. population. As a result, this report is a reflection of American consumers slapped down by the reality of their new economy. The top-line report revealed fundamental shifts in shopper attitudes and behavior, including: • All income groups reported an increase in coupon redemption, buying on sale and taking advantage of promotions • This change is noted equally in urban, suburban and • The need to limit spending on food and grocery items cut across all income groups, with year-over-year change progressively larger in the higher-income groups 96 • Progressive Grocer • May 2009 Prog A H E A D O F W H AT ’ S N E X T www.progressivegrocer.com http://www.stefanofoods.com http://www.stefanofoods.com http://www.progressivegrocer.com
