Secretly manipulating shoppers?! Question for my fellow #shopperinsights, #shoppermarketing, #categorymanagement #retailstrategy, #brandmarketing friends: How does this quote from a recent article make you feel? “Switching up the layout is just one of many ways that grocery stores are secretly manipulating you.” (source: Mental Floss, The Clever Reason Why Grocery Stores Change Their Layouts So Often) Or: “You’re only human. And it turns out, it’s precisely that human-ness that’s being targeted.” The sub-head of this article is: “when it comes to shopping, psychology, and the human brain, it turns out we’re pretty impressionable.” (Source: Mental Floss, Why Are Dairy Products Usually At The Back Of A Grocery Store?) So nefarious. I’m sure there is a certain audience who no doubt LOVES feeling victimized by a conspiracy like this. But as someone immersed in shopper behavior and helping manufacturers and retailers succeed, the notion that there is some evil cabal of execs cackling about the new strategy to control a shopper’s mind and make them buy something they don’t really want or need... it feels so off base. Here is what I know to be true. If a shopper is not satisfied with their experience, they won’t come back. So why would any retailer want to use Jedi mind tricks to force shoppers into something they will regret once they break free of the hypnotic state? Do we try to “influence” shoppers? Of course! Anyone who sells ANYTHING is trying to influence people. But there is no secret or malicious intent behind successful strategies. At its most core level, we influence shoppers by creating products that meet a need and by making it easy for them to find those products. At Vista Grande, we have a methodology that we believe uniquely informs marketing and merchandising principles to do just that. No secret conspiracy. Just understanding shoppers’ needs and understanding how they navigate a sea of choices to find what they want. Now, that grocery store in Roswell, New Mexico... that’s a different story. 😊

Similar products can serve distinct purposes, making the act of substitution more nuanced than it appears. It is imperative that we as insights leaders understand the intersection of the shopper, the consumer, the occasion, and the need being met in order to optimize assortment and drive category growth. Is your Substitution Analysis considering this intersection?

While a focus on the behavior of young shoppers offers a window into the future, we mustn’t overlook the significance of older generations’ spending habits. Brad Barash's perspective offers valuable insight, highlighting Vista Grande’s comprehensive approach to market research.
My parents are your shoppers... so why are you ignoring them? My mom is 78 and my dad is 80. They were traveling during the Super Bowl last month but managed to find a place to watch the game. Yes, they travel a lot. They both still work. They exercise. And, yes... they SHOP! Why? Because they need groceries and household goods. Why wouldn’t they? So why do so many in our industry ignore them? We often have clients who give us specs when designing a shopper insights initiative: “please target 18-59 year-olds.” WHY? Did you know shoppers 59 and older make up ONE THIRD of the US buying population? (US Census) Did you know Boomers, the Silent Generation and the Greatest Generation make up the ONLY generations increasing consumer spending in year over year terms? (Bank of America Institute, 2023) At Vista Grande, we always include the full spectrum of age demographics. In many ways, the shopping behaviors of older generations are remarkably similar to younger generations. But we have seen some notable differences. Older shoppers are FAR more likely to prefer the Grocery channel over Mass or Dollar. Some of this is driven by pre-store activities. Older shoppers are much more likely to look at store ads and circulars. We see this in category after category in our data. A recent article from Grocery & Retail News underscores this importance of printed weekly ads in the grocery channel (Grocer Learns The Hard Way That Shoppers Still Want Paper Circulars). Older shoppers also know the Grocery stores they frequent carry the brands they are accustomed to buying. That leads to another key insight: older shoppers are MUCH more motivated by “brand trust” than younger shoppers. Older shoppers are also more motivated by the “size I want.” They are more likely to prefer standard/medium and large sizes over small sizes and over multi-packs. As you consider how to influence your shoppers along the path to purchase, and how you merchandise/communicate to them at the shelf... don’t lose sight of ALL of your shoppers. 80 is the new... 50?

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we at Vista Grande are proud to honor women’s influential contributions to the market research industry, the consumer goods sector, and our own little company. Our fledging startup’s first two hires, Michelle Boehm and Erin Williams, are women of the utmost competence, integrity, and perseverance. Maggie Hughs, Nicole Antoine, and Haley O'Connor soon followed and collectively made a formative influence on our capabilities and culture. Our more recent additions of Cici Wei, Kristina Wong, Nikki Leifer, and Meghan Bosch have made us so much stronger in areas of solution development, analytics, and client relationships. We pay tribute to our team’s diversity, strength, and spirit, and we reaffirm our commitment to fostering an environment where women lead, create, and innovate. Here’s to celebrating the advancement of women’s roles in the workforce, advocating for equality of opportunity in all facets of business, and building a future we can be proud of passing on to the next generation. #WomensHistoryMonth #Empowerment
