Sarah Lebow: 我认为几乎每个人都担心关税,担心价格上涨,担心关税会如何影响他们的工作、经济,并可能导致经济衰退。 Rachel Wolff: 消费者对关税的反应主要分为两类:一类是提前购买,另一类是持观望态度。这种反应在汽车和电子产品等类别中尤为明显。在其他类别中,影响程度较小,但未来几个月可能会发生变化。 Zach Stambor: 关税对不同商品类别的影响程度不同。例如,家具、服装和汽车的销售额在3月份有所增长。许多我们认为是美国品牌的商品实际上是在国外生产的,这导致了价格上涨。全球供应链的复杂性导致关税的影响波及多个行业,例如啤酒行业受到关税的严重影响,因为许多啤酒品牌是进口的,连啤酒罐本身也受到关税影响。 Sarah Lebow: eMarketer 对关税影响进行了建模,预测了不同关税强度下的广告支出变化。关税对广告业也有影响,尤其对社交媒体广告支出造成冲击,可能导致广告支出增长放缓。 Zach Stambor: 关税导致的意外结果包括:对美国商品的反感情绪影响了品牌,尤其是一些在华有大量业务的全球品牌。一些公司利用关税作为促销手段,鼓励消费者提前购买商品。这种“提前购买”策略可能导致短期销售增长,但也会导致长期销售下滑。将生产转移到美国非常困难,因为即使是搬迁生产线,也需要很多部件从海外进口,而且劳动力也难以寻找。 Rachel Wolff: 三月份零售额增长,这表明消费者在关键商品上进行战略性支出。 Zach Stambor: 零售商应该关注杂货通货膨胀和就业报告数据,包括失业率和职位空缺数,以了解消费者情绪和购买行为。与之前相比,此次关税的影响更加广泛,且劳动力市场相对较弱。 Rachel Wolff: 零售商应该优先考虑基于业绩的广告支出,减少品牌建设方面的投入。零售商应该对价格上涨保持透明,并向消费者解释原因。零售商沟通方式应根据目标消费者而定。 Zach Stambor: 零售商领导层应该清楚了解其供应链的各个环节,并制定相应的应急计划。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the impact of tariffs on consumer behavior, noting two distinct consumer camps: those who are trying to purchase goods before prices increase and those who are adopting a wait-and-see approach. The impact varies across product categories, with some (like furniture and autos) showing significant increases while others remain less affected.
  • Two camps of consumers exist: those who buy now to avoid price increases and those who wait.
  • Impact varies across product categories; furniture and auto sales increased in March.
  • Consumer purchase decisions are more deliberate due to tariffs.
