When selling through third-party retailers, being the first product recommended is crucial to capturing more sales.

Why First Product Recommendation Matters

Research shows that products recommended first are often chosen first, making it vital for manufacturers to understand and optimize this dynamic. Ipsos’ Mystery Shopping provides a comprehensive view of in-store activities, helping identify training opportunities and maximize sales turnover.
