It was invaluable to have people take pictures in the store. The verbatims were amazing, very powerful. Finding the right audience was key. Everyone was articulate and would readily share their experience with us.

We talk a lot about product development and the value of gaining consumer insights and applying them toward products from the innovation stage all the way through to the product’s launch. But what about once your product is on the shelf? How do you know what’s really happening once your shoppers are in-store?

This is where shopper insights come into play.

• Pre-shopping research
• Product findability & barriers to purchase
• Consumer thoughts on packaging, positioning, and the competition
