This optimism was stoked by the National Retail Federation's chief economist who said, "Consumers remain upbeat and have the confidence to spend, and the steady wage growth that has come with the strong job market is fueling their spending. The state of the consumer is very healthy." By February, however, the country entered into a COVID-19 induced recession. Then, to slow the spread of the pandemic, on March 30, the Governor of North Carolina locked the state down. This brought the Fayetteville area's $8.1 billion retail economy to a standstill. As stores, restaurants, and offices in the Fayetteville area begin to re-open, consumers' appetite for spending is returning. According to Nielsen, loyal radio listeners are very likely to be first in line at the cash registers.

The latest Nielsen study identifies loyal radio listeners as being 38% more likely to buy or lease a vehicle within 12 months of restrictions easing.[![Advertise In Fayetteville: Car Buyers](https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/6611158/image-5.png)](https://blog.advertiseinfayetteville.com/why-fayetteville-used-car-dealers-need-to-advertise-now) For almost every Fayetteville small business category, loyal radio listeners will be the first to return as pandemic imposed restrictions are eased.
