There’s been a subtle shift in the way people spend over the last few years, and this looks set to continue in 2018; consumers are now spending more money on experiences over a quality of product and it is the experience of a brand or product, rather than the quality, which is building brand loyalty.
This shows us that it’s no longer good enough to merely provide a fantastic product.
