The research question

What makes shoppers notice, consider and choose your product?

Shopper Research reveals how attention, navigation, category context and interaction shape the path-to-purchase. It maps what shoppers notice, compare and ignore across the store or immersive retail environment, from initial exploration to final choice.

ParticipantsShoppers matching the target category / consumer profile.
Minimum sampleN = 30
DurationDepends on the route, category and shopping task.

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the retail environment, shopper profile, categories, products, POP materials and research objective.

02

Capture the real or immersive shopper journey from entry / exploration through category and product decisions.

03

Map heat points, exploration patterns, performance by area, need states, interactions and the decision tree.

04

Quantify route behavior, fixations, AOI metrics, attention / attraction, recognition, category interactions and decision sequences.

05

Translate the evidence into changes to layout, category management, product placement, displays, promotions, signage and shopper journey.
