KISS THE CREDIT CRUNCH 24 April 2009

As Kiss Confidential is here to offer constant topical insight, we thought it was time to explore just how fearful our listeners are of the dreaded credit crunch, or are they….

Kiss the credit crunch

We asked our listeners across the country how they felt about the year ahead, what they’re doing more and less of and how they are going to plan their finances.

Our insight explores the spending that listeners simply can’t justify anymore, however there are many habits that have died hard and listeners will break the bank to keep as luxurious treats.

Your current financial situation

On top of our own statistics we looked beyond the world of Kiss, exploring a few UK wide trends that have emerged this recession, picking the most relevant ones to our listeners. This has given us a heads up on what will make our listeners tick this year, even if they don’t know it yet.

Other insight you may find interesting is how the job market has affected our younger listeners and how attitudes and habits will have to evolve as our environment changes.

Student listening

We also throw in a few positive case studies from all corners of the market and the UK, bringing some sunshine to the doom and gloom and helping to let your mind wonder outside the box, and perhaps converting others fortune into your own.
