You’ve no doubt seen the Democrats and their apologists in the media exclaim that the issue is really messaging and that the economic challenges people feel are just “perception” or made up.

Here’s the lone non-radical on The View trying to make the case that economic issues matter, but the ladies are STILL convinced it’s just racism and misogyny.

Below is a litany of retail and consumer industry stats and reports which show everything is not hunky dory and there are LEGITIMATE and SERIOUS economic headwinds for businesses and consumers.

Declining Sales and Revenue:

Macy's: Downgraded sales forecast, expecting a year-over-year decline. Comparable store sales also projected to be negative. CEO cites "softness," "carefulness," and "macroeconomic uncertainty."

Kroger: Reporting declining sales, with consumers shifting to lower-priced items and essentials. CEO acknowledges consumers are pressured by reduced savings, inflation, and interest rates. Same-store sales shrinking.

McDonald's: First negative same-store sales comparison since 2020. US same-store sales down 0.7%. CEO admits prices are perceived as too high by lower-income consumers. Declining traffic in major markets globally.

Home Depot: Experiencing declining sales, particularly in discretionary categories like home improvement and renovations.

Wayfair: Reporting sales declines comparable to the 2008-2010 recession period. CFO expresses concern about the magnitude of the correction.

LVMH (Luxury Goods): First decline in revenues since 2020, pointing to weakness even among high-income consumers. Misleading statements attempting to downplay the downturn. Blames "uncertain economic and geopolitical environment."

Walmart: While experiencing increased foot traffic (likely due to promotions), overall sales are declining. Increased traffic to grocery suggests consumers prioritizing essentials and seeking value. Affluent customers shifting to Walmart indicates broader consumer distress.

Wendy's: Similar to McDonald's and Walmart, with increased traffic but declining sales.

Dollar Stores: Also seeing increased traffic but declining sales, a classic sign of consumers trading down to lower-priced options.

GLOBAL RETAIL // JUNE 4, 2024

Queer influencers are feeling the Pride marketing squeeze

By Allison Smith

https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/queer-influencers-are-feeling-the-pride-marketing-squeeze/

For many queer influencers like Alysse Dalessandro, Pride is the biggest month of the year for brand sponsorships. Throughout the month of June, Dalessandro — a plus-size fashion and lifestyle blogger — posts videos on TikTok or Instagram featuring sponsored products that cater to her LGBTQ+ followers. 

In 2022 alone, Dalessandro worked with 35 different brands, and one-third of her annual income came from Pride sponsorships. 

But this year, those figures are looking a lot smaller, and Dalessandro says it’s because brands’ appetites for Pride marketing have weakened amid widespread pressure from anti-LGBTQ+ conservatives. 

“This year’s Pride will just be a regular month,” said Dalessandro in an interview. “Whereas I used to make one-third of my yearly income, I would say I’ll make one-twelfth of my income this year.”

The pullback comes just after Target announced earlier this month that it would be scaling back its Pride Month offerings. The retailer said its Pride products would only be available in about half of its nearly 2,000 stores in the U.S. and online, and it would no longer sell LGBTQIA-themed merchandise for children.

Protests against brands with Pride Month products and marketing campaigns reached a fever pitch last year. Target reported “gut-wrenching” attacks of violence in its stores against employees, prompting the retailer to pull some of its LGBTQIA-themed merchandise. Target’s earnings took a hit, which the retailer partially attributed to the controversy.

Meanwhile, Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light faced boycotts last year after the brand worked with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a marketing promotion. The boycott was so severe that sales plunged, and Bud Light was dethroned as America’s best-selling beer by Mexican lager Modelo Especial.

While some say the protests have cast a pall across corporate America that is still being felt this Pride Month, others say brands are continuing to celebrate Pride with merchandise and promotions – but it’s being done more quietly and in moderation now. 

A majority of corporate executives and Fortune 500 leaders reported to Gravity Research that they are not planning changes to their Pride strategy for 2024. Thirteen percent were unsure, and only 9% said they were definitely planning changes.

Indeed, grocery store giant — and Target’s biggest rival — Walmart has plunged ahead with its LGBTQIA-themed merchandise for Pride this year. 

Still, Dalessandro isn’t alone in reporting a slowdown.

Matt Skallerud, president of Pink Media, expects more brands will sit on the sidelines this Pride as companies try to navigate an increasingly fraught socio-political landscape. 

“Typically, we have several Pride projects in the works that we would have had ready for a June 1 launch. But this year, there’s nothing. Zero,” said Skallerud. “When I talk to others in the industry, whether they’re smaller LGBT media companies or other marketing firms, they say they’re all suffering the same thing.”

In the U.K., a similar chilling effect is also being felt, according to Chris Dunne, co-CEO at Outvertising, a non-profit that helps marketers connect with LGBTQ+ audiences. 

Although Pride Month is officially underway as of June 1, “you’d be excused for not knowing that by walking the streets or walking through the mall, or any of the touch points where you usually see retail support for Pride,” said Dunne. “It’s suspiciously quiet, and I think all the indicators are that it will be a quieter Pride month from a commercial and brand point of view.”

Yet, total marketing budgets in the U.K. reached their highest levels in almost a decade in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to a report. In the U.S., ad spend is similarly resilient. Three major ad forecasters have predicted improved U.S. media spend totals for 2024, Digiday previously reported. Retail is especially robust, with a 9% uptick in spend expected, according to IPG’s Magna unit. 

Brands, however, risk missing out on crucial dollars if these healthy budgets aren’t directed toward LGBTQ+ communities. Queer-identifying Americans represent $1.4 trillion in U.S. spending power, according to investment advisor LGBT Capital. 

“With one in five Gen Z identifying as LGBTQ, companies are really recognizing that it’s more important to have a relationship with this consumer segment than to perhaps respond to a vocal percentage of the population that’s actually quite small,” said Matt Tumminello, founder and president of Target 10, an agency that specialize in LGBTQ+ consumers. 

Moreover, many consumers support a swath of LGBTQ+ issues. For example, an Outvertising report found that 60% of queer-identifying people and 41% of non-LGBTQ+ people in the U.K. believe that brands should express their views on political and social issues. Meanwhile, 74% of Americans are neutral or positively impacted by knowing a company offers Pride merchandise, according to GLAAD, which advocates for positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ people in media and culture.

Despite this, marketers’ investment in the LGBTQ+ community is minuscule at only 2.5% of all advertising spend, according to ANA’s Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing.

“We know that there’s a fringe minority that is very loud, so brands’ messaging and tone has been modified because marketers don’t want to get caught in the middle,” said Carlos Santiago, co-founder of ANA AIMM. 

According to Meghan Bartley, senior director of agencies, brand and engagement at GLAAD, brands aren’t pulling back so much as they’re retooling how they engage with the LGBTQ+ community. 

“Brands are reconsidering how they show up for our community. That may look like a change to a Pride campaign rather than the complete removal of a Pride campaign,” said Bartley. For example, she said brands are increasingly looking at how to invest in queer-identifying communities all year round as opposed to just Pride month. That can translate to fewer rainbow logos on LinkedIn, to appear less opportunistic, and investing more in LGBTQ+ causes rather than merchandising, she said. 

Bartley cited iHeartMedia and Procter & Gamble’s fifth-annual “Can’t Cancel Pride,” an event celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, as an example of how brands are supporting the community in ways other than merchandising.

When Target said it would be selling less Pride merchandise this year, the retailer touted its year-round investments in the LGBTQ+ community, including donations to organizations such as Human Rights Campaign and Family Equality. Target also said it would participate in local Pride events across the nation and that it would continue to spotlight LGBTQ-owned brands throughout the year.

“There are some brands that are doing the work behind the scenes because they’re aware of a growing backlash,” said Outvertising’s Dunne. “But I don’t think that’s the majority. I think that’s the slim minority.”

Bob Witeck, a consultant who helps companies such as Walmart develop their LGBTQ-friendly policies, also hasn’t seen a pullback from his clients. In fact, he said some were doubling down on Pride Month in light of last year’s backlash. 

“In all of my conversations with the clients I work with, they have not shrunk at all,” said Witeck. “In fact, the conversations internally are more like, ‘We feel a deeper need to amplify what we say.’”

What is Processed Meat?

Processed meat refers to any meat that has been altered through methods such as curing, salting, smoking, drying, or adding preservatives to extend its shelf life and enhance its flavor. Some of the most common processed meat products include hamburgers, fried sausages, kebabs, chicken nuggets, canned meats, and smoked meats. These products are convenient, versatile, and easy to prepare, making them a popular choice for consumers worldwide.

Key Drivers of Growth in the Processed Meat Market

Convenience and Changing Lifestyles

As lifestyles become busier, consumers increasingly opt for convenient food options. Processed meats, such as ready-to-eat meals (e.g., chicken nuggets and kebabs) and frozen sausages, fit perfectly into this demand. Their quick preparation time and long shelf life make them an ideal choice for busy individuals and families.

Rising Disposable Incomes

As disposable incomes rise, especially in emerging markets, consumers are willing to invest in premium processed meat products. This trend is particularly noticeable in pork, beef, and poultry-based products, where consumers are looking for higher-quality processed meats such as smoked and cured options.

Increased Demand for Ready-to-Eat Products

The global rise in the demand for ready-to-eat meals continues to drive the processed meat market. Products like hamburgers, sausages, and canned meats are all part of the booming convenience food industry, where speed and ease of preparation are top priorities for consumers.

Expansion of E-Commerce and Online Retail

Online retail is gaining significant traction in the processed meat market. As consumers turn to e-commerce for grocery shopping, the demand for processed meat products through online platforms has surged. This trend is expected to continue as more consumers enjoy the convenience of purchasing their favorite processed meats from the comfort of their homes.

Processed Meat Market Segmentation

The processed meat market can be segmented in several ways, providing valuable insights into consumer preferences, trends, and growth opportunities. Below, we explore the key segments of the market:

By Type: Hamburgers, Fried Sausages, Kebab, and Chicken Nuggets

Kebabs and chicken nuggets are also experiencing rising demand, particularly in fast food and convenience food sectors, where these items are easy to prepare and serve.

Smoked and cured meats are increasingly popular among consumers looking for specialty processed meats with enhanced flavor profiles.

By Meat Type: Pork, Beef, Poultry, Lamb, Mixed Meat, and Others

Poultry (chicken, turkey) is expected to maintain the largest market share due to its affordability and versatility.

Pork is heavily used in products like sausages and bacon, while beef remains a staple in hamburgers and other processed meat offerings.

Lamb and mixed meat products cater to niche markets with specific tastes and regional preferences.

By Form: Whole Cuts, Sliced, Ground, and Pieces

Sliced and ground meats are popular in ready-to-eat and fast food products.

Whole cuts remain a favorite in premium and specialty meat markets, where consumers seek higher quality cuts for specific dishes.

By Region: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World

North America and Europe continue to dominate the processed meat market due to their long-standing consumption habits and high demand for convenience foods.

Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth, driven by increased urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and a shift in dietary preferences towards processed meats.

Rest of the World, including regions like Latin America and the Middle East, will see steady growth, especially in demand for poultry and beef products.

Processed Meat Market Forecast and Revenue Outlook

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Middle East and Africa Chocolate Market

Real-time Monitoring Solutions For Cold Chain Market Outlook, Competitive Strategies And Forecast

The global real-time monitoring solutions for cold chain market size was valued at USD 12,427.8 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.1% from 2024 to 2030. The rising demand for global real-time monitoring solutions in the cold chain market is driven by the need for greater control and efficiency in temperature-sensitive supply chains, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and chemicals. With stricter regulations on product safety, companies are increasingly adopting these solutions to ensure compliance with international standards.

Additionally, the growing trend of online retail, particularly for groceries and pharmaceuticals, is amplifying the need for precise cold chain management. Companies delivering fresh food, dairy, frozen products, and medicines must guarantee that their goods remain within ideal temperature conditions from dispatch to doorstep. Real-time monitoring solutions allow companies to provide end-to-end visibility into cold chain logistics, helping mitigate the risks of spoilage, reducing waste, and enhancing customer satisfaction through reliable delivery of fresh goods.

The integration of IoT (Internet of Things) devices in cold chain logistics is further driving demand for real-time monitoring solutions. IoT sensors placed within storage units and transport vehicles can continuously track environmental conditions and transmit data in real-time to centralized monitoring platforms.
