Design Force, Inc proudly announces that the consultancy’s president, Ted Mininni, has been interviewed and quoted by USA Today for one of the national newspaper’s lead storylines. One of the newspaper’s lifestyle reporters interviewed Mr. Mininni on the topic: “Americans reach for small luxuries amid sour economy”. The article appeared in the February 23, 2009 issue, in the paper’s Lifestyles section.

USA Today published a related article, dubbed: “Little Things Mean A Lot”, citing Mr. Mininni’s opinions on what’s in (small comforts) and what’s out (excess) in this economy. “People are going back to basics. They are finding modest ways to indulge in life’s pleasures.” He then cites a few “ins” and “outs” based on his knowledge of current trends.

“In view of the tight economy, consumers are buying, but they’re buying more judiciously. They are interested in treating themselves, but not in the extravagant manner we witnessed throughout this decade. Brands must now rethink their marketing strategies to meet consumers’ new needs and expectations”, stated Mr. Mininni.

Mr. Mininni has long discussed consumer trends in response to changing market conditions. Writing for Marketing Profs’ Daily Fix blog in early December, he wrote a post dubbed: “Selling Comfort in Tough Times”, outlining the kinds of marketing campaigns that are called for in light of the recent economic downturn. In the post, he suggests marketers might wish to play up those brand assets consumers will respond to when economic times are challenging.
