One thing is certain: As uncertainty swirls, consumers seek value. But how do we define value in this moment, and how does it impact purchase decisions? The Valassis 2020 Consumer Intel Report provides a view into the evolving role of value in our distracted age and offers recommendations on how brands and retailers can maintain relevancy and stay top of mind with consumers. This presentation will address the drivers of value for consumers, how those drivers have changed due to COVID-19, and ways that influencer Marketing programs can make an impact.
