“We’re being battered by rising petrol costs, inflation, the usual increases in property prices and rental vacancy issues, along with global supply chain delivery still being impacted by floods and the war in Ukraine,” said report author Sam Cousins, Chief Strategy Officer, iProspect Australia.

“All of this is impacting the cost of daily staples on the average consumer’s grocery bill. In advertising we can see that demand is there, but how do we convert customers who are battling with wanting to indulge in a variety of experiences, products and services, and at the same time trying to keep a lid on their spending?
