Understanding buyer behaviour

One of Australia's largest retailers sought to gain a clearer understanding of the market in which it operated including its shoppers' behaviours and preferences.  GSG was engaged to clarify the driving forces behind buying behaviour and also how favourable the retailer's customers were to its brand.

What was the question?

With a view to better understanding and communicating with the 'right' shoppers, how can this retailer increase market share and customer loyalty?

What did we do?

  • Implementation of an extensive insights program of shoppers covering shopper behaviour, staff and suppliers
  • Identification and profile of shopper segments and their motivations
  • Clarity and definition of frequent and infrequent shoppers

What was the outcome?

Clarity around attitudes towards retail brands was achieved, which in turn informed solutions offerings, communications, product offers etc. Furthermore, the choice drivers of customers going to one retailer over another were understood and the value of frequent versus infrequent shoppers was clarified.  As a consequence, a clear set of actions to improve business performance could be developed.
