Measuring the shopper’s behavior

and shelf events

In the last few years, trade marketing analysts has found an new subject to study, which is no longer the consumer, but the shopper. The new challenge is to understand his behavior in the POS and the events in the shelves.

With this objective several tools have become available (POS Surveys, Behavior Observations, Ethnographic Interviews, Reflex Interviews) but the Shopper Tracker technology allows brands and market research firms to have real world events metrics like Google Analytics has on your website.

Tracking Technology is a new opportunity to understand the shopper and the shelves.

Today, there are technologies that help to explain the shopper’s activities in the POS, like Eye Tracking.

Technologies like this give very important information but are limited, because they need the shopper’s cooperation to be applied, so the shopper always knows that he is being studied. This affects the very results it tries to measure. Shopper Tracker doesn’t affect the shopper’s behavior.

Our solution is a complement, not a replacement for those tools, giving a new set of information with several benefits that you will learn in the following slides.

What is the added value of Tracking technology in these scenarios?

Analytic Metrics

All the following metrics and reports can be filtered for any date/time range.

Visitors: people that are detected in the tracking zone. Associated metrics:VisitsAverage Visit durationTransit Zones: places where Visitors may physically be (e.g.: right in front of a particular part of the shelf). Associated metrics:% Visitors through Transit ZoneAverage time in Transit ZoneTouch: occurs when a Visitor touches a Product in the shelf regardless of taking it. Associated metrics:Total Touches and Touches per ProductAverage Touch timeTouches / VisitsPick-up: grabbing a product from the shelf. Associated metrics:Pick-ups and Pick-ups per ProductPick-ups / TouchesReturn: putting a product back in the shelf. Associated metrics:Returns and Returns per ProductReturns / TouchesConversion: grabbing a product from the shelf and not returning it for the duration of the visit. Associated metrics:Conversions and Conversions per ProductConversions / Touches  Goals: grabbing a Product of interest (e.g.: own product SKU). Associated metrics:% of times that the Product is grabbed in the first place.Average time since the shopper entered the scene until the product was picked up.Heat Maps: an overlay of the shelf picture with color-coded areas reflecting activity (from green to red).Visitor touch locations in the shelf.
