Understand Channel and Account-Level Shopping Dynamics
Homescan® Channel Facts allows marketing and sales teams
to compare and contrast basic shopping measures across channel shoppers
and category buyers within key retail channels and accounts.
Retailers can no longer think that their competition is limited
to their specific channel. Manufacturers need to partner with
retailers in developing a category strategy to establish the most
effective merchandising, promotional and pricing levels to drive
increased category and brand volume.
For example, although more category buyers shop in Retailer A
(17.1MM), only 11% buy Category Z there. Retailer A should have
the potential to convert at least as many category buyers as Retailer
B (29%).

Converting 29% of Retailer A shoppers to purchase Category Z
represents a $26.47MM opportunity for Retailer A. (29% - 11% =
18% incremental conversion x 17.1MM Hhlds x $8.60/per Hhld=$26.47MM
opportunity). Additional Retailer A opportunity through improved
category buying rate ($8.60-$22.60).

Category Z Buyers display strong spending power relative to the
average account shopper, especially in Retailer B.
