Adjusting based on current mood

Understanding consumer attitudes will allow you to adjust your strategies accordingly. Consider the following:

Consumer confidence: Dipped 6% in developing regions to its lowest levels since 2013. Is now a good time to expand your business in these regions, or is it better to wait?
Top concerns: Having money to pay bills and unemployment are the top 1 and 2 concerns in many markets. Should you rethink that aggressive sales push?
Emerging trends: Some categories have taken off during 2020. Do you have an opportunity to grow, despite the unpredictable times?
