In-Store Shopping: A Closer Look
For the fifth straight year, the Path to Purchase Institute partnered with Great Northern Instore to survey individuals about the in-store shopping experience. We surveyed 1,000 shoppers in February to understand their shopping behaviors and any changes in their shopping habits. Once again, we covered their preferences for in-store versus online shopping. And for the first time we examined how they use retailers’ mobile apps when shopping.
Join us to learn:
- How shoppers perceive in-store displays and messaging;
- What are shoppers’ in-store pain points;
- What drives in-store impulse purchases these days;
- How often shoppers purchase private-label products across store types;
- And shoppers’ future outlook, including their anticipated spend across categories.
