There’s a new retail game and the customer determines the rules of engagement. Matching online prices or bulking up product SKUs is not enough to keep pace with a today’s savvy shopper. To stay in touch with this new smartphone shopper, merchants must give customers the ability to shop the way they want to shop, and do it well.

Average Annual Inflation Rate by Decade. This Chart shows the Average Annual Inflation Rate for each decade. Each bar represents the geometric mean for the decade (not the total cumulative inflation for that 10 year period ).

The first of these final two sections emphasizes differences among people at different times (commonly called trend research), and the second emphasizes differences among people across national boundaries.
