Department Transformation
Winning with shoppers has never been more crucial as competition intensifies for a shopper’s spend. Traditionally, manufacturers and retailers have focused at the category level on how best to meet a shopper’s needs, but as baskets get smaller and trips fragment, leaders are taking a wider ‘department’ view to address the broader need state or occasion influencing shopper choice. Department reinvention starts by intimately understanding the motivators and barriers behind the way a shopper selects and buys today, to uncover relevant strategies to expand usage and loyalty in pursuit of your business goals. By re-orchestrating the overall shopping experience – whether online or in the store – you and your retailer partners can renew your category for sustainable growth.
