Measuring Shopping Paths in a Store

Our unique in-store shopping path research brought us to actionable shopper insights which were directly translated into store activities.

WHY RESEARCH?

In the increasingly chaotic world of retail, it sometimes gets forgotten.

There is no sale without buy. This is the point where all the retail efforts start and end. It all gets down to the customer – understanding his needs, his choice at the point of sale. The time of the metrics provides new ways of connecting with the customer.

By getting to know the mechanics behind the shopping missions and employing the right metrics, we can open new insights that will help you achieve your goals (whether as a retailer or CPG company).

Our point of sale research projects vary from eye-tracking to measure visual attention (suitable for improvement of displays) to tracking of shopping carts for analyzing shopping missions.

What drives
customers’
decision-making?

BIG AND SMALL DATA

While there is a tendency to analyse the big data with the state of the art technological tools, we have by no means forgotten the yet unsurpassed field observation. It is the blending of the big & small data that gives us the unique perspective.

What does that mean? By an electronical device we measure that a woman stopped at the category, took 38 seconds there and put a particular product in the basket (big data registered via devices).

But field observations gives us additional insight. The shopper considered 3 different products, returned them on shelves and decided to take the fourth one because the influencer – a kid of seven years – convinced her to do so (small data collected by observation).

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

With all the new measurements, carefully planned and smartly executed research might give you a wealth of knowledge that acts as sheer competitive advantage.

In the ocean of Data, there are solid grounds – islands that provide relevant perspectives. Finding them, you get Insights.

Some Insights lead to additional business value. Create a path to a change and you get Actionable Insights.

Data -> Insight -> Actionable Insights

And there’s also Aha! Insights.
