Information Services and Advertising Opportunities

Custom Visual Surveys – Shopper Insights

In-store surveys collect visual merchandising metrics – what the consumer sees when they look at product. Is the brand distinguished with prominent shelf or floor placement, competitive pricing, engaging manufacturer point-of-sale material, a range of package sizes or features? “Quality” stocking induces consumer purchase of your product over a competitor. For CPG products, 70% of purchase decisions are made in-store, so standing out is critical. Our trained staff of mystery shoppers have experience in multiple industries. Programs can be overt or covert and may include retailer engagement in addition to visual observation. We will visit your key accounts in any region of the country, or we can build a custom sample for you.
