A First To The Table White Paper
We have long felt that a more in-depth understanding of the emotional drivers of food consumption linked to the shopping experience would provide insights and opportunities to better meet consumer needs.
In 2009, Kraft Foods commissioned a ground-breaking study with the Hartman Group for greater insight into shopping behavior. While shopping behavior has been extensively analyzed, the drivers of that behavior are not fully understood. This study has led to a new way of thinking we are calling Occasion-Based Marketing.
With this research, we not only have the confidence that comes from a very large scale approach, we also have the ability to pinpoint retailer-specific opportunities, and thus we can help retailers differentiate their banners, while better meeting the needs of shoppers.
We are so excited to share with you the top-line results and some ah ha’s of this paradigm shifting study. But you should know that there’s a lot more behind it. Please contact us to get a view of your shoppers insights. We are looking forward to working more closely together and to generating incremental revenue.
Thank you,
Diane Tielbur
