Business Decisions Based on Facts, Not Speculation
Neighborhoods—in even small communities—change fast. And if the perception of your marketplace is based only on the customers coming through your door, you’re not growing your business.
Affordable and effective marketplace and shopper analysis can provide the meaningful feedback and data you need to help you revitalize your competitive strategy, bring in new shoppers, and better serve the ones you have. Find out:
- How your perception of your store matches that of your employees & shoppers
- How long shoppers stay in your store versus competitors’ stores
- Where your print & other media dollars are working & where they are wasted
- The right mix of advertising, marketing, & merchandising
- How to shift to digital without losing loyal shoppers
“On average, IGA test retailers saved in excess of $10,000 annually on weekly ad costs working with ADvay to create a media plan that better reflects their customers’ media consumption.”
By adding a customer survey to better understand their perceptions of your store and an employee survey to recognize gaps between management, staff, and even customers, you’ll gain the full 360º experience—and an analysis that increases sales, margins, and employee satisfaction.
