Shopper Insights: Debunking Myths About Consumer Shopping Behavior

An Exclusive 60-Minute Webinar from the Food Institute, featuring The Hartman Group

Upon deep exploration into consumers' lifestyles and shopping behavior, The Hartman Group discovered that neither "trip types" nor "need states" fully capture the complexities of shopping behavior. However, examining cultural occasions explicitly brings the social and cultural context of shopping into the analysis, resulting in a more complete understanding of shopping motivations.

On July 19 The Hartman Group redefined "consumer insights" and debunked the myths about what drives consumer shopping behavior, such as:

Myth: Brand loyalty drives shopping behavior.
Myth: Shopping behavior is about consumers filling fixed needs.

View this rebroadcast and get a better look at consumer shopping behavior. You will discover:

  • Key drivers of consumer shopping behavior
  • Dominant "Cultural Shopping Occasions"
  • Consumers' perceptions of key shopping channels
  • And, the implications and opportunities for your retail products

Information presented is a result of over 300 hours of in-depth interviews with consumers across the U.S. and a nationwide online survey of shopping attitudes and behavior.

Moderator: Brian Todd, President, The Food Institute

Presenting: Laurie Demeritt, President, The Hartman Group

About Shopper Insights: How Cultural Occasions Frame the Consumer Experience

Shopper Insights identifies the 11 most salient cultural occasions that provide the social context in which shopping trips take place. The report includes a look at the building blocks of the shopping trip, a channel-by-channel assessment of shopping orientation and behavior, an analysis of the tactics that consumers rely on to get their shopping done. It also provides a quantitative investigation of the shopping trip including frequency and incidence, retailers visited, retail incentives considered, and purchases made. The report offers specific findings for four categories: cereal, salty snacks, frozen foods, and OTC.
