Shopper behaviour

Want to understand customer habits and how to influence them? Our shopper behaviour research factors in your closest competition, changing consumer requirements, and generational preferences.

Our approach

The goal is to influence purchasing decisions and provide positive results for your brand. It’s a simple aim, but it’s not so easy to execute!

Our approach to shopper behaviour market research is always flexible, tailored, and grounded in the situation – because what works for one category or channel, might not work for another. We help clients master and leverage category purchase dynamics, to drive brand love and improve conversion rates with shoppers worldwide. Whether you’re a retailer, manufacturer, merchandiser, or service provider… a category manager or shopper marketer, in charge of the customer experience in-store or online.

No matter if your core challenges are around in-store activation or understanding online shopping behaviour, we’ll help you improve customer engagement and achieve sustainable growth, through actionable insights.
