We predict what shoppers really want.

Every day, our passionate, curious, fearless researchers and strategists study shoppers’ lives, make sense of patterns, explore and interpret sentiments to understand why they buy, where, how, and what they will do next. To activate your retail future you must follow shoppers every day, always. It’s what we do.

Shopper Research & Insights

For three decades our How America Shops® research has successfully tracked shopper sentiments, lifestyles, attitudes and behaviors to buying across all types of retail – physical and digital. Predictive, actionable insights and customizable analysis show why shoppers do what they do, and how to boldly respond.
