Shopper research
& e-commerce

We expose purchase habits, motivations and decision-making
processes and test the efficiency of your POS strategy without losing sight of the shopping mission.

If your question sounds like these, you've come to the right place!

  • How do shoppers find their way to the right section? What are possible hindrances and where are they found?
  • Which variables need to be changed in order for a product to be found more easily on a shelf?
  • What can be done to increase the amount of time spent in front of a shelf and to make it more pleasant?
  • To what extent does the structure of the shelf correspond to the customer’s classification criteria?
  • Which store layout concepts from abroad can be applied to the domestic market?
  • How do online and offline shopping differ within a certain category?
  • Do people care about the price in the product category at all?
