September Consumer Outlook:
Jobs, Homes and New School Year Bolster Spending Plans
Retail
Forward's Future Spending Index ticked higher in September,
signaling that consumers plan to increase their spending
this month. The index rose to 104.6 from 103.5 last
month. "Job and income gains and the housing
boom should give many shoppers the confidence to bump
up their spending in September, particularly Middle
Market consumers," said Steve Spiwak, an
economist with Retail Forward.

Fuel
Prices Damp Wal-Mart Profit; Outlook Is Pared
“Discounters like Wal-Mart continue to feel
the brunt of the step up in gasoline prices,” said Frank
Badillo, senior economist at market-research firm Retail Forward.
“But it doesn’t necessarily mean that all of retailing
is going to tank through back to school and the holidays.”
The Wall Street Journal, August 17, 2005
The
Shopping Experience: Service Is Key
Nearly as many – 23 percent – decided not to patronize
a store again because of an unpleasant experience with store
policies. “It is surprising that they leave altogether
rather than visiting less or spending less,” said Mandy
Putnam, a vice president at Retail Forward and author of the
July “American ShopperScape™ study. “It’s
partly because there are so many places to shop these days.”
