consumers
Social media is supplementing the mass media of the past
14. Radius Global EMEA 14
Marketing has moved on too..
ATL (above the line) dominated with TV adverts and
main stream media.
Media became fragmented with multiple TV channels
and online
Retailers became expert at retail marketing and learnt
to influence and control the purchase at POP
Online penetration has grown along with online
shopping from home
Mobile online shopping and the use of Apps has given
shoppers greater freedom, control and choice.
Consumer shoppers now research online, buy or
review offline (in-store) and may return to buy online.
WHAT’S NEXT?

The category management approach
How can we meet consumer needs?
What is the optimum range?
How do consumers/shoppers segment the range?
Where are the gaps and opportunities?

Shopper marketing
How can we influence shoppers at point of purchase?
Where and how best to allocate marketing spend?
16. Radius Global EMEA 16
In theory
Meet consumer/shopper needs
and they will come (buy)?
…but do they realise/know?
What of unknown/unmet needs?
Where are the real opportunities?
Desire before the need
There’s clearly still a need for advertising
and promotion, only in different forms of
communication and integrated/connected
across several new and different channels
17. Radius Global EMEA 17
Shopper marketing has moved on too
…before, it was a revelation that ‘above the line’
advertising and promotion was losing out to the ‘point of
purchase’.
The power had moved to the retailer as they became
smarter at shopper marketing through their own brands,
category management, more sophisticated in-store
marketing, their own advertising campaigns and of
course their online shopping.
…but now shoppers are taking centre stage. Social media
has given them the power of easy convenient connection.
Access to information, product reviews and consumer
experiences. Along with the recent economic pressures,
this has spurned new shopping behaviours.
The smart shopper can ignore traditional advertising
messages and make better informed purchase decisions.
Evolution
• ATL
POP
• Retailer marketing
• Category management
Shopper
• Social media
• Information, product reviews
Smart shopper
• Advert immune
• ROBO behaviours
18. Radius Global EMEA 18
Lets not fool ourselves, they’re still in-store
The key is to understand how to get through to this new
smart consumer, to understand the new shopper touch
points and use that knowledge to influence the point of
purchase.
Consumers are still driven by brand loyalty, awareness
and emotional attachments.
Shoppers are still influenced by ATL advertising. They
are pre-loaded with brand preferences, past
experiences and a ‘purchase decision narrative’, ready
to find and select their chosen product.
Shoppers (whether in-store or online/mobile), can and
are influenced at the ‘point of purchase’, only their
consideration routines and purchase route has changed.
New shopper touch points
• Influence POP
Drivers are not changed
• Brand loyalty and awareness
• Emotional attachments
Shopper
• ATL still influences
• Pre-loaded preferences
• Purchase decision narratives
POP is in-store and online
• New consideration routines
19. Radius Global EMEA 19
What is shopper marketing?
..so, shopper marketing is about
understanding the new shopper and
using that knowledge to manage the
marketing mix.
The aim is to affect change in shopper
behaviour with the objective of driving
brand consumption.
