The persistent 2.8% inflation, especially with those 'higher transport costs', really makes you wonder about its ripple effect on consumer spending habits beyond just food. Are people cutting back on other discretionary items to absorb those transport increases, or are they finding ways to optimize their travel? It's a complex picture, and understanding these shifts is key for businesses trying to acquire new customers. We've actually been looking at how these macro trends influence acquisition strategies — a full breakdown of our findings is here: https://cxgo.ai/l/q83UdyI if you're curious about the data. Research content only, not financial advice. Investing involves risk.
