Top Shopper Based Design Questions from 2020

(Use Cases for Ecomm, In-Store Shelving, and Retailer Sell-In Stories)


We did an analysis of the top use cases and business questions our clients reached out to us when it comes to packaging in 2020.

Here are the top retailer sell-in and shopper based design-related use cases where we used virtual observation of shopper behaviour at both physical and digital shelves and then explained that behaviour using implicit and explicit measurements.

If you would like to schedule a demo to see this work in action, send us a note.
