Services for Brands

Retail Academics has long worked with the largest brands in Nordic grocery retail, but also in other consumer goods segments.

​

It's difficult to predict how shoppers react, especially where habit is involved. It takes more than gut feeling to launch a new product, change a packaging, execute a campaign, or develop a category.

​

Our unique presence in the physical store – where we conduct everything from simpler interviews to advanced sales and behaviour experiments – enable brands to feel safe that we provide them with reliable and realistic data to take decisions from.

In-store testing

Tests in store that secure the implementation of your initiative.

​​

  • What placement in the shelf generates the best sales effect for our product(s) and the category as a whole? 

  • Can our projected initiatives be implemented in store? What effects do they have? 

  • What communication gets the most attention in the store environment? 

  • What data-based arguments can we use to further the implementation of our initiatives in stores?

​

Product and concept testing

Assess your product or concept initiatives before launch to ensure success.

​

  • How can we expect our new product to perform in stores?

  • What do shoppers think about our new product, its design, and its positioning in relation to the rest of the assortment?

  • How will our new packaging concept be received by shopppers? What positive/negative effects may it yield?

Insights online

Accelerate the online development through shopper-centric insights.

​

  • How do our shoppers behave online in comparison to physical stores? 

  • How do shoppers interact with our brand's online and offline touchpoints? 

  • What products and campaigns are the most sought-after by our online shoppers? 

​

​

​

Category development

Deep-diving insights driving category growth.

​

  • How can we work to contribute to the category's development in store? 

  • What is the optimal planogram to improve the shopper experience, to inspire shoppers, and/or to make our products more visible in the shelf? 

  • How can we best work with inspiration in our category?

  • How can we get shoppers to try more products?

​

Campaign development

We thoroughly evaluate campaigns to optimise their effects based on solid insights

​

  • What promotions, messages, and products are most effective for our category? 

  • How can we increase the sales of our campaign initiatives? 

  • Do our campaign have the desired effect on the shopper experience and our brand perception?

  • Is the communication related to our campaigns effective? How can it be improved?
