One of the questions I get asked most often by my CPG clients is “how can we improve our sales conversion rates?” via Ecommerce sites or in-store.

Typically, I advise clients that driving higher conversion rates starts in the pre-shop phase of the shopper journey by driving consideration utilizing shopper digital media with a goal of literally getting their brand on a consumer’s shopping list. Why is this so important? Well, according to a new research study from my friends at AdAdapted from their whitepaper titled “The CPG Pre-Planning Report”, shopping lists are an important part of the path to purchase.

Here are a few top-line insights:

• 82.1% of shoppers use a shopping list “often” or always.

• 80.1% of consumers use both pen-and-paper and digital grocery shopping lists.

• 54.3% of survey respondents use pen-and-paper while 49.6% note using a digital grocery list “often” or “always.”

• Individuals across all age demographics utilize both types of lists, but Gen Z and Millennials tend to use digital shopping lists more often.

• Consumers have a range of digital options available for managing their grocery lists including basic note-keeping apps (58.8%), digital grocery list apps (41.8%) and retail eCommerce apps (40.4%).
