valuation of CM and POS activities in pre/ post interviews
Targeted before/after interviews and analysis of the collated data allow us to specifically determine the impact of individual activities and the required changes per department/category...
Loyalty Card Analysis
Retailers use loyalty cards not only for customer retention – the cards also link shopping baskets with shopper related information and so provide valuable insights on customer types/clusters and the buying behavior of shoppers, e.g.
- Which groups of shoppers buy brand A versus brand B?
- How far do the groups of shoppers overlap?
- Is the customer new to the category (first time buyer)?
- Which products were purchased before the promotion/before the new product launch?
The analysis allows valuable conclusions to be drawn for your category management and POS activities.
Brand Research
Promotion shopper analysis
Key question: what impact do promotions at the POS have on shoppers?
The targeted interviewing of customers in outlets where a brand promotion is implemented provides information on:
- awareness of promotions and advertising
- activation potential of the promotion
- relevance for the purchase decision
- buyers of the promoted article(s)
Analysis of shopper potential
Key question: what can induce a shopper who is willing to switch brands to buy our brand?
Our analysis on shopper potential which examines the behavior of loyal shoppers and brand hoppers helps us to determine what makes a shopper choose one brand over the other(s). This allows us to identify key stimuli which could motivate brand hoppers to switch brand.
Optimal pricing
Key question: how much are your customers willing to pay?
Demand driven pricing is the basis for increasing revenue. Based on shopper surveys we can determine the upper and lower price limit(s) of a particular brand and the optimal price positioning compared to competitors.
