Consumer sentiment
Real-time consumer sentiment data informs a range of critical business decisions, from tailoring marketing strategies to improve product offerings to better meet consumer needs. Knowing whether consumers are feeling more confident, or beginning to tighten their belts, can have a significant impact on how any business or organization prepares to respond.
Demand forecasting
Anticipating consumer demand, as well as their price sensitivity, can be extremely relevant for firms facing investment decisions, product choices, or pricing strategy.
Labor market dynamics
Are in-demand workers looking ahead to their next career step, or are they in entrenchment mode? Do local employers face more or less competition in the labor market, and how can compensation strategies adapt?
