I am feeling a consumer revolution brewing. Have you noticed how much nicer sales associates are a some stores these days? Home Depot is practically like Disney World right now with all the smiles and how-may-I-help-you’s.

With fewer dollars to go around and less credit cards being used, vendors really have to want your business in order to succeed. I have a feeling consumers are starting to figure this out.

“If you want me to spend my hard earned money here you better be nice to me.”

Before this recession I felt like I was trying to get the store to want to pay attention to me.

I have this feeling that Business 2.0 is coming… followed slightly behind Web 2.0.

People will spend money in the future but it’s probably not going to be like they used to spend money. They will probably be more apt to spend just the money they have (after savings) and then with much greater scrutiny.

Nice stuff, dude!
