Did you know? Coffee tops the grocery list for reasons to shop and those consumers are more likely to switch stores if they are aware that their products are available at that location.

The upswing of at-home coffee consumption in all formats – traditional, instant & single serve - has presented a new challenge for brands to cut through the saturated market and drive in-store sales to their products.

With every challenge, is an opportunity. By geotargeting consumers down to device location, serving personalized offers driving to retailers that carry their products in real-time, brands do not have to miss out on lost sales to their competition.

Now that’s a way to BREW strong results!

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀, 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 & 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 – 𝗢𝗵 𝗠𝘆! ⁣
⁣
Yes, BBQ season is here and consumers are ramping up their supplies of everything from what goes on the grill to which flavors will adorn the meal. ⁣
⁣
Notice the use of the words “𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦” versus cut’s of meat. This is due to the fact that many consumers are shifting traditional gears into plant-based meat selections on the grill this year, adding to the growing list of options and opportunities for brands to highlight their summer-specific offerings. ⁣
⁣
That being said – meat cuts are still leading the pack for main courses, with a noticeable uptick in pork and seafood. Additionally, with more health-conscious consumers, deep-frying is falling away to be replaced by smoked, grilled and baked meals. ⁣
⁣
This bodes well for the $2Billion-plus sauce and seasoning industry, that is capitalizing on the 𝟮𝟱% 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝟴𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝘀. ⁣

Using a dynamic creative platform (𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘳) to leverage weather or time of day triggers to capture seasonal variances in their digital ads could produce immediately call-to-action for brands. ⁣
⁣
Paired with relevant promotional information at the closest participating retailer and consumers will have a great reason to pick up all they need for dinner on the way home. ⁣

⁣
This summer, expect grab-and-go, snack size and portion control (i.e. 100 calorie packs) to win over consumers through bars, beverages, yogurts, nuts & seeds and jerky. ⁣
⁣
Functional ingredients such as immune support and weight management grew in popularity through the pandemic and are only becoming more pronounced with additional emerging benefits like focus-enhancing and energy boosting ingredients.⁣
⁣
Expect that brands who want to capture mindshare and conversion of consumers quickly through their digital and display advertising will use hot button words that emphasize these benefits, with a health and convenience focus as more consumers will be out-of-home this summer. ⁣
⁣
Preshop marketing to drive in-store sales of comfort snack classics to new products or flavors will be a widely used tactic across the board. ⁣

 ⁣
Whole’s Food Trends Council predicts that dairy-free drips, alternative cheeses, plant-based seafood, BBQ plant-based products and children’s bite sized snacks will be the hot selections of the summer.⁣

With the vaccine rollout in effect, consumers’ mindsets are shifting. 64% of shoppers now feel safe to shop in-store, according to a Deloitte survey from January.

With anxieties reducing, the rising optimism is paired with long-term expectations. At-home consumption and eating patterns will be a mainstay, however consumers are eager and more willing to venture out to gather, to host small social gatherings, and to enjoy the in-store experience once again.

Online shopping saw an initial surge in 2020 and brands responded by changing tactics to drive to online sales. Yet winning online platforms, such as Amazon’s Whole Foods grocery segment, have taken as much as a 15% dip first quarter of 2021 year-over-year.

Bottom line, real-life grocery stores matter a lot.

CPG brands who recognize and refocus to both in-person and virtual shopping experiences are going to win the gains in 2021.

Brands have pivoted to adapt to consumer trends and behaviors that shifted through the wake of the pandemic. Going into year two, there is a new audience segment to consider - the ‘disrupted consumer’

This consumer values safety, traditions, and reliability. She is predominately female, with children under 18 at home, and employed part or full-time. She responds to products and brands who can prove competence, gain her trust, and provoke optimism in this uncertain time.

The disrupted consumer actively looks for convenient locations for her shopping, and 63% of them prefer to shop at a physical grocery store location versus online. While in the store, a third of these consumers will also check the price of an item online – underlining the importance of relevant deals at their fingertips.

Brands who align their messaging with the values of this aware and conscientious consumer group will succeed through new adoption or renewed loyalty and inspire immediate action to drive in-store sales. Tie in dynamic elements such as how close they are from the nearest retailer, value-add such as coupons or active promotions to help them save time and money, and it’s a winning digital personalized approach.

Are you speaking to the Disrupted Consumer?

Let’s be honest - how many of us purchased sweet treats like chocolate or candy for the Easter holiday?

CPG brands tend to capitalize on major holidays to drive consumers in-store and win mindshare with in-store display.

As we shift gears into the summer months, keeping shoppers engaged through a long promotional period to drive basket building and conversion is important for brands to consider.

Mother’s & Father’s Day, Independence Day, and events like the NCAA tournament offer a continuous in-store stream of opportunities to maintain or increase brand awareness and drive repeat sales.

Plus tapping into the at-home family movie night trends that are set to continue through this year, CPG brands have an opportunity through a one-two combo of digital pre-shop and in-store merchandising tactics to capitalize on the traditionally slower sales periods.

Are you engaging shoppers through smaller summer holidays?

How well do retailers know their customers?

In a year-over-year comparison of customer satisfaction of supermarkets, 86% of retailers experienced a dip in satisfaction. Yet, Trader Joe’s was on top with unwavering ratings.

With the onset of COVID-19, shopper behavior transformed overnight. Mandates, empty shelves, less promos & lack of customer experience caused a downturn in scores. Increases in online orders mitigated regular foot traffic & brought a set of challenges to unprepared retailers.

Trader Joe’s forge ahead despite these setbacks. Branding as a lifestyle experience for consumers, with emphasis on penny-pinching while health-conscious, vs a shopping stop. Staff courtesy & fast checkout enhanced their scores. All this without implementing curbside pickup.

TJ's knows their customer & speaks to them. Beyond the in-store theme, through marketing to draw in consumers – preshop. Without traditional advertising, they cultivate engagement; impactful impressions via digital platforms for a personalized approach.

Other chains may not have the familiar feel, yet can use digital preshop tactics to identify & talk to THEIR audience. Creating an invitation that is compelling & providing what consumers want in this uncertain time – savings, products they need, & trust.
