In the retail and shopping sector, consumer reasoning isn’t always easy to predict. Whether it’s what influences their buying decisions or the channels they use. Even when you have a deep understanding of your target audience, with the retail landscape and shopping behavior changing drastically, things aren’t the always the way you’d expect. GfK Consumer Life gives you unique, measurable data, global and regional, about all aspects of consumers’ lives regarding their attitudes toward retail and shopping, and how it impacts them. And thanks to GfK’s smart analysis you get you not just data, but meaningful market intelligence – immediately and conveniently.
Omni-channel shopping, social media shopping or new experience focused shopping concepts are influencing your business. But with the increasing digitalization of shopping, getting a holistic view of consumer and market trends to understanding target groups or completely new target markets can be a challenge.
From social media shopping to click-and-collect, how fast are new trends developing and how can you maximize the opportunity for your business? Online, offline, omni-channel: how relevant is each one and can offline and online play together? Some categories are already strongly influenced by online, others like FMCG are about to start. What are the trend-leading categories?
Stay ahead of these and other current trends. GfK Consumer Life gives you all the information you need for developing next-stage thinking and workshopping strategic business issues under one roof.
What’s driving potential consumers around the globe and how can you appeal to their hearts and minds with your marketing activities? With the demand for premium products on the increase, who are the purchasers and how do they need to be treated?
