Shop-alongs

Rather than surveying someone as they leave a retail or grocery store, shop-alongs involve an interviewer accompanying customers as they browse the store for things to buy.

The purpose of a shop-along is to uncover thoughts, influences, preferences, and motivations when customers are shopping for a product.

The real-time nature of the research enables Drive Research to delve into the psychology of consumer decision-making as it unfolds.

 

Market Segmentation

Market segmentation is the process of dividing a vast market into smaller, distinct groups of consumers who share common needs or characteristics.

By categorizing customer groups by their unique preferences and behaviors, retail brands can customize their product offerings, messaging, and promotional tactics for optimal engagement and sales.
