In a time when customers are demanding value and are really trying to stretch ever dollar to it's limit, some companies are doing their part to help. Whole Foods Markets are giving "value tours" to their customers to show them that even at a store with a pricey reputation, value is within reach. You can read more about their approach in Hawaii's Star Bulletin's: Getting the Whole Picture.
I previously discussed the importance of corporate image to consumers. Whole Foods, embraced their reputation as a high-priced grocery retailer. They offer a level of quality and freshness that has raised the bar in the grocery industry. Instead of lowering prices and sacrificing the bottom line to grow their seemingly cult-like following, they took a more pro-active approach by educating their customers on more cost-conscious ways to shop. This is the kind of "outside-the-box" approach that more companies need to explore.
