Our Three-Part Framework to Generating Shopper Insight

 

1.

Big Data & AI

All our solutions are entirely bespoke, but we find shopper insight research is often enhanced by including one or more of the following:

  • An initial landscaping exercise to understand category customer experiences and key topics related to their journey online (social, search & e-commerce)

  • Evaluation of overall brand performance and opportunities (within a retail environment) based on consumer sentiment

  • Benchmarking against your brand or category to identify recommendations for improving customer experiences

  • Using AI-enabled big data to understand the customer journey and experience across online and offline touchpoints and contrasting it against category benchmarks.


2.

Capturing the Consumer Perspective

By blending qualitative and quantitative primary research, we can get to a more intimate understanding of consumer journeys. This may involve:

  • Using mobile devices to allow consumers to document their journey, from purchase triggers to initial research and discovery (and all the touchpoints they use along the way) with follow-up conversations to explore inflection points.

  • Conducting consumer surveys to gather insights on category purchases and preferences.

  • Eye-tracking for more granular, specific insights into what’s grabbing consumers’ attention and where they are drawn.

This multi-perspective approach to shopper journey research offers insights into:

  • Consumers' attitudes during the journey and influencing factors

  • The journeys in which your brands excel or need reinforcement

  • Meeting tensions between consumers and retailers head-on to establish a win-win scenario
