I’m surprised if the boycott is having any effect since I’ve hardly heard anything about it since it started. Target around here is somewhat useful though I haven’t gone there since pre-boycott. Also when I’ve gone, I’ve often taken parking lot delivery, which might not count as foot traffic.
I mean foot traffic being down for eight weeks in a row and then struggling financially is pretty much proof it’s working, right? We knew we wouldn’t bankrupt them in a few minutes, we’re trying to get their attention.
Also - as far as the reason you’ve not heard much about it, corporate media doesn’t wanna show people the power they have. It’s simple.
I know there are two events, 1) boycott and 2) foot traffic down. I’m not at all convinced that the two are related more than slightly. Foot traffic down = people are broke and/or more frugal because of Trump, maybe. I’d like to know how foot traffic has been for retail in general.
I think it’s likely both. People are broke and spend less, and what they do spend is at a company that they feel hasn’t sold them out. I can’t tell which one is having the bigger impact though. The data on the subject should be interesting either way.
