During his speech at the Congress AECOC 2009, Primark, José Luis Martínez of Larramendi, director-general stated that the 'low cost' phenomenon will be installed in a structural way in our market. On the same day of the Congress, the director commercial and goods of the Carrefour group and member of its global Executive Committee, Ignacio Gonzalez, said that after the crisis there will be two big winners: the brand of the Distributor and the mark of the manufacturer that innovates.

The new role of the concept price as a driving force in the decision-making process, as well as the criteria that currently are driving the consumer behavior gained a role in Congress AECOC 2009.

According to José Luis Martínez of Larramendi, CEO of Primark, in times of economic difficulties consumer becomes more sensitive to the price, which becomes a powerful instrument of commercial action. What happens is that today consumers seek low prices on an ongoing basis, on a daily basis, not so much to buy 'cheap' but as an opportunity for smart consumption.

For Larramendi, this consumer behavior is that justifies the birth of the 'low cost' phenomenon that, from his point of view "should be installed in a structural way among us, won't be with the crisis". The director-general of Primark also believes that the impact of this phenomenon "has only just begun;" "the pace of implementation will increase, will be known, will live an explosion greater than the current". It also adds that the 'low cost' "is not a fad, will go beyond the crisis, is the future".

Ignacio González: "the crisis is an opportunity to reinvent our industry;" "an opportunity to give the consumer what you want"

From his point of view, the fifths, sixths and successive marks "pass through problems" because of the new demands of the assortment. In this sense, Ignacio Gonzalez insisted that "Carrefour is marquista" and will remain it, although he explained that "the mix is the way to cover needs but not the different ways to cover them;" "we want to sell brand but also that the trademark moves." The Board of Carrefour also added that "the crisis is an opportunity to reinvent our industry;" "an opportunity to give the consumer what they are looking for, not what we want to look for, and a chance to collaborate".

The delegation also highlighted the fundamental importance of offering consumers appropriate responses to new needs.

"The purchase not can be a problem for who does not want to complicate your life". Ignacio Gonzalez also advocated regain some optimism and make life easier for the consumer.
