Consumers Aren't Loyal Anymore. They're Auditing You.
For years, brands treated customer relationships as something to nurture over time. That assumption is dead. Inspira surveyed 225 U.S. consumers in 2026 and found a clear, unprompted pattern: people are no longer giving brands the benefit of the doubt. They're running a real-time audit on every brand they touch — checking pricing, checking sincerity, checking whether the brand is even real — before they'll commit a dollar or a bit of loyalty.
