MRSI - Identifying opportunity through custom research

Point of Purchase

The moment of purchase is the most critical point in the entire marketing cycle. It's the moment when a shopper best recalls why they made the choice to put a particular item in their shopping cart. All of the imagery perceived for the category, your product and your competitor's product is top-of-mind at this moment.

MRSI's point of purchase research experience includes shopper observation and videotaping, shop-alongs and intercept interviewing. We're well equipped to handle your point of purchase research needs with a roster of over 200 field agency partners. This gives you complete geographic flexibility and stringent quality control measures to ensure the highest quality research.

Point of purchase research has many applications. It is an excellent way to study impulse-buying behavior. With thousands of new SKUs on the store shelf every year, it's becoming more difficult for consumers to make well-informed purchase decisions.

Point-of-purchase research also helps to focus attention on the package; a pivotal factor in your product's success or failure. A package plays many different roles: communicator, transporter, container, protector, and instructor/educator. Simply by being on the shelf, a package generates millions of advertising impressions. If it is noticed and communicates the brand's reason for being, it can be as effective in driving trial and building brand image as a major advertising campaign.

Many variables converge on the store shelf or at the display to make it an ideal laboratory for understanding consumer decision making behavior.
