Some of the key areas that we focus on while undertaking retail research are:

• Understanding the actual requirement of a customer
• The customer behavior, their needs, habits, preferences, etc.
• What are the main motivators and barriers at retail points
• Optimizing the point of sale (POS)
• Role of displays to the customers, and Interactions of the sales teams

The following are the retail research that we conduct:

• Retail measurement services and retail audits
• Intercept surveys
• Mystery shopping
• Shop-Alongs
• Competitive Research
