In today’s times the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) market is dynamically evolving. Some retailers grow organically, others focus on optimizing the range to best meet customer needs. In developed markets, the fight for every shopper continues and it's not just the market that is changing. Customers are changing and their shopping habits are too.
Needs are constantly evolving, both in terms of breadth, assortment quality and the shopping experience. 2020 brought a new dimension to decision-making about the place of purchase with many customers broke down barriers and tried out new distribution channels. Understanding how shoppers rate their store’s performance on these evolving needs is the path to increased loyalty.

  • How does the customer's perception of the place of purchase stand and what is the relationship between loyalty and performance at the respective retailer?
    The answers are provided by our unique Retailer Evaluation Study focused on the assessment of top retailers in the market. The study is used by retailers to mirror their success and to measure the effectiveness of their efforts, but also by manufacturers and distributors who understand the strengths and weaknesses of particular retailers and also customer demands and expectations. Through this, both players can better formulate an assortment and pricing strategy.
