THE ”SAY/DO” DISCREPANCY What consumers say and what they actually do: Organic shopping Volunteering Work hours Consumer self image / real actions - Don’t always trust what the studies say! Why 2nd hand shopping works: Social and environmental consciousness – PLUS cheap and easy

WHY WE DONT COMPETE WITH FASHION Roughly 3 groups of customers  ”Treasure-hunters”  Can’t/won’t pay for new goods  Political consumers These groups are not likely to be buying new fashion items at full price
