Price still an important thing, but it’s not the only thing at drug and grocery

Observation:   That’s according to this story from Drug Store News, citing research from SymphonyIRI (click to link).

Implications:   “Value” isn’t always about price.  Consider, instead, how the product or service you sell—or the way you sell it—adds value to the consumer’s life.  I’m banking on more and more digital interaction (especially mobile), concern about The Fuel Economy, and increasing Time Sensitivity as issues that drive consumer trends in the next few years. 

What are you anticipating?
