In the midst of increasing inflation, a global conflict, continued supply chain issues, and other disruptive economic events, Dr. Wang and co-host Joey DiGangi examine consumer spending habits on non-essentials. The data show that spending on products and services that fall outside of areas like food, gas, or building supplies has decreased--meaning that many businesses will have to compete for increasingly limited resources.  This episode discusses best practices businesses should observe to prevent decline, such as revisiting your pricing strategy, examining your value proposition, and closely monitoring operational expenses. It also provides specific examples and discusses next steps you and your team can explore. If you would like to schedule time to work with Dr. Wang, Joey, and the W.D.
