10 QUOTES WITH «CONSUMER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word consumer.
1
Max Azria
When I entered the market, I was rejected because the elite say that you have to sell things at a certain price point. My position was that the consumer is smarter than that. Who cares if it's $200, not $2,000?
2
Chris Bangle
We at BMW do not build cars as consumer objects, just to drive from A to B. We build mobile works of art.
3
John Battelle
Advertising and content have always been bound together - in print, on television, and on the web. Sure, you can skip the ad - just flip the page, or press 'ffwd' on your DVR. But great advertising, as I've long argued, adds value to the content ecosystem, and has as much a right to be in the conversation as does the publisher and the consumer.
4
Keith Belling
I was convinced you were not able to tell a consumer you can have a healthy fried chip or a good-tasting baked chip.
5
Julie Bishop
The Australian economy is resilient, but business and consumer confidence is fragile.
6
Sara Blakely
I'm just like so many women - I was frustrated, I had these white pants that I had spent a lot of money on, and you get home and you think, 'What am I really supposed to wear under this?' So it was a frustrated consumer moment.
7
Drew Bledsoe
Fairly early in my career, I had a passion for wine just as a consumer, and I started to learn about the whole process, starting with a piece of raw ground, and ending up with a work of art in a bottle.
8
Richard Branson
I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer.
9
Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
Any time that you can give the consumer more of what they want, it's a good thing. I said from Day 1 that the unbundling of the album is a good thing.
10
Jerry Brown
When the farmer can sell directly to the consumer, it is a more active process. There's more contact. The consumer can know, who am I buying this from? What's their name? Do they have a face? Is the food they are selling coming out of Mexico with pesticides?
