Shopper Marketing Minute Changing Shopping Habits

Shopper Marketing Minute – Changing Shopping Habits

In this episode of Shopper Marketing Minute we discuss the impact of the financial crisis on grocery shopper buying behaviour. Read the full transcript below:

As unemployment rates soar to the highest levels since The Great Depression, many families are finding themselves in a financial crunch. As a result, shoppers must stretch their food budget to the max. To accomplish this, shoppers are getting into the habit of planning their shopping trips in advance by taking an inventory of what food is in their home and preparing a detailed shopping list. In fact, a recent survey shows shoppers are 31% more likely now versus pre-crisis to make a shopping list before they go online or a store.

As a Shopper Marketer professional, I am encouraging my CPG clients to take advantage of this trend and engage shoppers earlier in the path-to-purchase to drive conversion. Ultimately your strategy will drive your approach but consideration should be given to pre-shop tactics including digital flyers, shopper media, retailer loyalty apps and digital coupons.

Shopper Marketing Minute – Online Grocery Sales Surging

Shopper Marketing Minute – Online Grocery Sales Surging

In this episode of  Shopper Marketing Minute I discuss the emergence of online grocery sales during the COVID19 crisis and our recommendations for CPG marketing investments.  Read the full transcript below;

During the COVID19 crisis, online grocery shopping is surging with a 37% increase in sales between March and April. This makes me wonder why some industry experts are suggesting there will be a large drop off in Ecommerce grocery sales post-pandemic. For me E-commerce will be a big winner long term as shoppers become accustomed to the ease and convenience of online grocery shopping.

As a Shopper Marketing professional, I am advising my CPG clients to invest marketing dollars in 2 key areas:

1. Pre-Shop digital media such as digital ads or digital flyers targeting shoppers based on purchase habits to drive them to key retailer sites.

2. Creating content showcasing the brand on retailer sites and then utilizing on-site digital ads and search to drive shoppers to the content.
