Implications - Ever since the recent economic downturn, consumers have been forced to re-evaluate their personal budgets. Businesses that offer products serving multiple purposes and functions will be very appealing to those affected by the recession. Businesses that devote their efforts to creating a more sustainable lifestyle for consumers will fare well in today's society.
