The consumer is the product decision maker (B2C). Therefore the challenge was to engage with consumers at point of sale (POS), to identify needs, preferences and influences. Operationally this raised a number of challenges including; consumer engagement, language, culture, data capture and opt in.
CSM built a programme which overcame all barriers. Retailers across the UK were invited to join the programme, which delivered a national consumer picture. The programme achieved a response rate in excess of 20%, and a statistically robust data set. With 12% of respondents opting in for future contact.
