Shopper Journey

We help you optimise your shopper strategies, make the most of omnichannel touchpoints, and test your activations efficiently.

LIFE Path

LIFE Path provides a deep understanding of the path to purchase and answers business questions such as: How can I anticipate and influence behaviour change in the new retail landscape? What is the reach, impact and role of physical and digital touchpoints? What are the right touchpoints and messages? LIFE Path uses a holistic approach covering on-premise, online, mobile and voice shopping.

LIFE Path connects with shoppers via technology-driven approaches designed to capture in-the-moment experiences. LIFE Path uses a framework that consists of four modules:

• Listen: Stakeholder interviews, desk research, meta-analysis of existing data, and social listening.
• Interview: Device agnostic diary for in-the-moment information on touchpoints and purchases, followed by post-purchase interviews.
• Follow: Shopper observation and journey recording via spy glasses, in-store observation, video analytics, and digital passive metering.
• Engage: Insight activation within the client’s organisation through workshops, storytelling, curation, and training.
