Shopper Marketing
Shopper marketing is the use of insights-driven initiatives to satisfy shoppers' needs, enhance their shopping experience, and improve brand equity for retailers and manufacturers, with the goal of improving business results for all parties. Shopper marketing has become increasingly important due to the large number of marketing messages consumers are exposed to daily, the abundance of retail options, and shoppers' tendency to switch brands frequently and shop at multiple retailers. Effective shopper marketing requires understanding how shoppers think, plan, decide, and evaluate their shopping experiences through research methods like focus groups, surveys, and in-store observations.
