This is from a report about consumer behaviour in the face of the economic crisi
Cuando se habla directamente con los consumidores, las investigaciones cualitativas realizadas por [market research company] reflejan su clara inquietud ante la situación actual, que puede resumirse en la frase “hay que echar números".
