According to Millward Brown:“In every CPG/FMCG category, the point of purchase is the critical moment of truth when a consumer facing a shelf of competing brands makes a decision to part with hard-earned money for just one of them.”

Nigel Hollis, Millward Brown, July 2006

Effective Shopper Marketing is crucial

So, what is “Shopper Marketing” ?The GMA (Grocery Manufacturers Association) defines Shopper Marketing as:

• All marketing stimuli, • developed based on a deep understanding of

shopper behavior,• designed to build brand equity, • engage the shopper (i.e., consumer in ‘shopping

mode’), • and lead him/her to make a purchase

Can investment in aisle reinvention drive increases in aisle traffic and shopper conversion rates sufficient to result in positive ROI?

P.R.I.S.M. data may be applied to answer many additional questions such as…

Page 54: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

54

And… • Which aisle placement will drive the greatest exposure and shopper conversion rate for my mega display?

• Which type of display will yield the best ROI?

• Is the execution of in-store media in line with targeted goals?• Are there other storepart locations that provide a more

favorable audience rating and alignment with category shopper traffic?

• Are there other in-store media types that should be used to drive brand volume and category closure rate?

• Is the ROI more favorable for one type of in-store execution than another?

• Are my in-store marketing activities as effective as my competitors?

And many other questions…

LMG Insight & Communication Division

Page 61: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

Data-driven collaboration can go wrong in many areas

• There is an abundance of data sources, each with its own limitations and data traps

• ePOS– Comprehensive, cross-retailer view– Does not provide insight into who

• Panel– Adds the customer dimension to the cross-sector view– Provides directional information only – becomes less

reliable in questions requiring granularity

• Loyalty Card– Accurate view of how what customers do on a very

granular level– No cross-retailer view, data provides limited insight into

why shoppers behave the way they do

• Market Research– Captures broader range of data can be providing better

insight into why– Shoppers don’t always do what they say they do, survey

content is subjective

• People working across companies introduce additional challenges

• Organisations tend to have their own product hierarchies and category definitions

• Different data sets can be used to answer (parts of) the same question

• Choosing the best analysis technique and which insights to show can be subjective

• Interpretation of results can vary

Situating shopper behaviours within360° consumer understanding

As discussed earlier . . .

Page 68: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

In-store planning is still disconnected

In-store planning is frequently conducted without sufficiently close reference to:

central marketing communications strategy

other wider picture issues such as attitudinal and cultural differences across markets

At best this misses an opportunity to build differentiation with real value to the consumer

At worst it results in poorly directly activities which can undermine longer term brand health

Page 69: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

A short story of Brand X

How, apparently this brand came to decide on its in-store targeting strategy

Why subsequent sales data disappointed and led to uncertainty

How 360° data revealed new levels of insights, comparable across countries

How this influenced future European strategy

How it inspired a platform for specific actions with a retail customer

Page 70: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

Misunderstanding derived from an incomplete picture

Brand X, a new snack product was launched across 3 European markets in early 2005

Based on demographic data on category consumption, assumptions were made by the sales team as to the target market, for example:

that the core was 18-34 year old females

that the major competitor was a category leader

A post-launch analysis showed that this hypothesis was clearly incorrect leading to concern over direction of trade support

Could more detailed analysis of other data help find a way forward?

Brand X profile in France

A highly summarised example of output

Page 72: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

Have more spare time than many with a third spending 2.5 hours a day on leisure activities. Most of their weekdays are at college, some work part time or spend a lot of time caring for children. Often use the Internet, some may use it at their campus for study or for staying connected with friends. They like to hang out with friends after school or work at fast food restaurants, cafés and bars are also into sports (football, swimming, badminton) and particularly sociable activities such as bowling, snooker etc. They rely on TV heavily or books and Bande Dessinées for relaxation. Some try to win some extra money from machines, scratch-cards or the lottery. Those with families are active theme-park goers (Parc Astérix, Walibi) and others attend cultural sites/events in Paris.

Two thirds are female, younger (spread within the 15-34 age group) and therefore more likely to be single and to be students. However some have started their families, and 44% have children in their household. An average number work, however given a quarter are in full time education and with skews towards homemakers and unemployed, they are slightly more likely to finding it hard on their personal income(though by background, HH income is above average). Marked skew to the north half of France with a core group living in larger cities and Paris.

Discoveries

Real differences exist between Brand X consumers and those of its competitors

Not just a challenger sub-set: these were evident throughout:

Demographics

Mindset

Lifestyle

This warranted a further investigation into attitudinal differences in greater depth

I always think of the calories in what I eat

I think fast food is all junk

I always look for the light/diet versions of food and drink

and cooking food

I don't want responsibility I'd rather be told what to do

There's little I can do to change my life

I like taking risks

I would like to set up my own business one day

I loathe doing any form of housework

I find that I'm easily swayed by other people's views

My faith is really important to me

I consider myself to be a spiritual person

I find it difficult to say no to my kidsIt is important my household is equipped with the latest technology

A woman's place is in the home

Contraception is a woman's responsibility

Real men don't cry

I consider myself interested in the arts

The point of drinking is to get drunk

When doing the household shopping I budget for every

penny

I really enjoy any kind of shopping

I often enter competitions featured on packets or labels

I sometimes send off for goods services or info packs advertised in newspapers mags on TV or radio

It's worth paying more for organic food

To do my shopping by internet makes my life easier

Generating new sales from this insight

A retailer/manufacturer partnership approach built on differentiation

Page 83: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

The potential amongst non-users is sized by creating a closely matched “look-alike” group . . .

63% of Brand X

consumers have at least

7 of these variables in their profile

Among snacks consumers, people who have at least 7 of these variables in their profile are 43% more likely to be Brand X consumers

I like to treat myself to foods that are not good for me I avoid sugar (no)I often eat between meals, I keep eating snacksI think fast food is all junk (disagree)I don't pay sufficient attention to what I eatI really look after my health (no)Because of my busy lifestyle, I don't take care of myself as well as I should Our family spends a lot on food I often buy useless things I often buy, on impulse, products I hadn't thought of I dress in a young style I like to keep up with the latest fashions I like others to look at meI spend a lot of my spare time with friends every dayI want to get to the very top in my careerMarital status: Single/Living alone

The opportunity for Brand X / Retailer A No particular affinity between these

consumers identified and any specific brands.

Their consumption of competitive products is average

Their potential affinity with Brand X is quite unique making this a promising

target market

Stronger likelihood to be Retailer A shoppers

Opportunity to create a differentiated platform from which to drive consumption

Eating is a short break to fuel and escape pressure

• Convenient / easy solutions / quick fix

• Often on the go

• Follow impulsions / avoid rules

Not really about quality for its own sake

• Notion is more one of extravagance

• Usually expressed only on occasions

Indulgence is not really achieved via sensorial pleasure

• Rather it is through the notion of having transgressed

• Treating generates feelings of guilt as well as of pleasure

Creating a shared, differentiated platform:Brand X / Retailer A in partnership

Health and diet Indulgence Premiumisation

Pleasure obtained from the category positioned as a well-being treat / mental break necessary to a healthy and balanced lifestyle

(similar function as a massage or some down-time in a Starbucks etc.)

• No relation to premium quality snacks or to healthy options

Conclusions

Page 88: Bo4.5   ECR Europe Forum '08. Breakthroughs in understanding in-store behavior  Shopping Behaviour

Conclusions

Survey data can provide the missing insight vital to maximise in-store differentiation and ROI.

We recognise that relatively few make intelligent use of it:The volume of data being processed from other sources can be overwhelming and gives the illusion of completeness

There is an inherent difficulty in reconciling findings with other data sources

We are hopeful that in future these barriers will be reduced:we have already worked with P&G on a project to tie into Nielsen data

we are investigating ways of working with loyalty card systems

Meanwhile make use of differentiating insight already available
