text: Consumerism suggests the prospects of new ways of competing for consumers’ preferences — through better products (safer, more nutritious, less polluting, more durable, more reliable, easier to repair and maintain, and so on), better services (better trained travelling salesmen, regional customer-service centres), direct channels of communication between the company and its aggrieved customers (consumer representation or voice in decision-making), better customer information (informative labelling, credible advertising, personal selling, consumer guidance and education, truthful packaging), and the need to develop many entirely new products to conserve natural resources and to reduce pollution, and to permit recycling, when possible.
