how crowdsourcing lifts merchandising roi
DESCRIPTION
Missing end caps. Promo pricing non-compliance. Empty shelves. Are In-store execution problems limiting your merchandising ROI? When brands can’t see what their shoppers see, they can’t hope to understand the quality of in-store merchandising plans, even the best-laid ones. Worse, it’s impossible to hold a field force accountable. Leveraging a mobile, nationwide army can help brands and retailers proactively manage one of the most influential nodes on the path to purchase: the product’s price, merchandising and stock on the shelf. That’s the skinny behind "Removing the Retail Blind Spot: Leveraging Crowdsourcing to Enable Real-Time Shelf Awareness." Partnering with Quri, Nestlé launched a summer 2013 execution assessment (covering the critical July 4 holiday weekend) of Dreyer’s ice cream and a Sept. 11-17 measure-and-correct deployment for a critical Coffee-mate in-store promotion. What Nestlé uncovered—pricing and promotion gaps ranging as high as 16%—and how they used actionable analytics—as part of an agile “measure, correct and learn” discipline to improve retail execution—are real wake-up calls for sales and shopper marketing professionals worried about the success of their brands’ in-store merchandising.TRANSCRIPT
