Consumers insights for today’s digital retail environment

Gain insights into shoppers who are technology savvy and expect the convenience associated with an the online retail experience that enhances or replaces the traditional in-store visit.

To fully understand what motivates them in the new retail reality of mobile, social, digital and in-store shopping requires more than outdated approaches and methodologies like surveys and focus groups. It requires insights from the perception-based brain science of shopping and consumption across physical, virtual, and mobile environments.

Understanding the Modern Shopper: Consumer Insights for Omnichannel Retailing is Schulich ExecEd’s newest program aimed at helping retailers engage with this new generation of consumers.

With content derived from program instructor and Schulich School of Business faculty member Brynn Winegard’s knowledge and research at the intersection of retail, marketing, business, neuroscience and psychology, this program will give participants fresh, new actionable insights that will help them survive and thrive in today’s retail environment by understanding their consumers more comprehensively than ever before.

This program looks at new brain science data that deals with processes of the subconscious brain before they are altered by external social factors. The program provides tangible, practical ways to look at these consumer insights and reconsider retailing practices, whether in physical, digital, or virtual media.

The program will be invaluable to sales, business and marketing managers from the retail and manufacturing sectors responsible for increasing top-line sales, including those from:

• Major corporate chain retailers
• Small, medium and independently owned retailers
• Major manufacturers of consumer packaged goods and fast moving consumer goods
• Manufacturers, distributors or any business selling directly into retailers

Personnel from advertising agencies, market research firms, and retail environment suppliers will also gain valuable new insights which they will be able to translate into added value for their retail-based clients.
