Do you have a good understanding of your consumers, but feel challenged when it comes to shopper insights? You’re not alone. Retailers demand good shopper understanding as a standard from all their suppliers. In order to deliver effective shopper tactics you need to understand what motivates them, what are their needs and behaviours, and how they change by product category, store type, shopper mission, and other factors.

The joint ECR Baltic and IGD Academy’s shopper engagement workshop shares market-leading research to help you understand the shopper journey from first contemplating a purchase, through to making a decision at the fixture. The economic downturn has been a catalyst to significant changes in shopper behaviour, and IGD has been at the forefront of capturing insight into these changes. Some shoppers are planning more before entering the store, and their needs change in terms of assortment, merchandising, price and promotions.

You will work interactively to develop techniques to improve shopper understanding and engagement. The workshop will also look to the future, including the effect of online shopping and technological advancements, retail ready packaging, and other innovative shopper-oriented developments.

  • Ensure the shopper is at the heart of brand/ category/retail/commercial decision-making
  • Understand shopper needs, behaviour and trends, and the influence on commercial decisions
