Customers care about the quality of products, not the size of the company.

This quote emphasizes that for customers, the perceived value of a product is paramount, overshadowing the size or reputation of the company behind it. Armani suggests that businesses should prioritize product quality and customer experience over concerns about their organizational scale, since ultimately, what matters most to consumers is how the product meets their needs and desires.
