September 3, 2008 —Supermarket News, "Shifts in Shopping Patterns Could Be Permanent: Study"
According to Mandy Putnam, a vice president with TNS Retail Forward, retailers’ customer profiles are shifting—not just because they are gaining customers who are trading down but also because they are losing customers looking for more value-oriented channels. “Whether new patrons permanently adopt these retailers depends on how well retailers address the needs of their new customers and how well new patrons acclimate to shopping in less-familiar territory,” Putnam said.
