  1. Household Panel Data Reference

  2. Household Panel Data Analyses The types of analyses that can be done with Household Panel data can be broadly classified to address the following issues: • Understanding Basic Purchase Behavior • Market Summary Reports • Purchase Dynamics • Deal Measures • Identifying Key Target Groups • Demographics • Purchase Behavior • Heavy/Light • Loyal • Deal Sensitive • Evaluating New Product Introduction • Trial & Repeat • Source of Volume • Other Diagnostics • Combination Purchasing • New/Lost/Retained Buyer Flow Analysis • Shopping Expenditures • Market Structure/ Segmentation Study

  3. Basic Applications • Market Summaries • Purchase Distributions (H/M/L) • Demographic Profiles

  4. Market Summary Report Report Model • Provides either a comprehensive “snapshot” or a dynamic look at consumer purchasing behavior for a category, its major segments and brands. • Aids in identifying appropriate marketing strategies and tactics. Applications/Questions • How many households purchase this category ? My brand ? • Is my brand at a disadvantage in terms of purchase size or purchase frequency ? • How deal-reliant are my buyers ? • How deal-reliant are my competitive buyers ? • How have things changed over time ?

  5. Market Summary Basics Consumer behavior data complements sales and share measurement data. Sales = # of Buyers x Amount Purchased per Buyer Penetration x Buying Rate Occasions per Buyer x Units per Occasion (“Purchase Frequency” x “Purchase Size”)

  6. Household Measure Definitions • Penetration - % of total U.S. households making at least one purchase of the specified item. • Volume per Buyer - (Buying Rate) How much the average buyer purchases in a given time frame. • Volume per Occasion - Average volume purchased per household each time a purchase was made. • Occasions per Buyer - Average number of times the specified item was purchased. • Share of Requirements - (Loyalty) Percent of the specified item’s buyers total category volume accounted for by the specified item. • Elapsed days - (Purchase Cycle) Average number of days between purchases among buyers of the specified item who made two or more purchases. • % of One Time Buyers - % of all the specified item’s buyers who purchased the item only once.

  7. Household Measure Definitions • % Volume on Total Deal - Proportion of all volume purchased on a consumer perceived coupon, feature, display, TPR. • % Volume with Coupon - % of volume purchased on a deal specified by panelist as coupon. • Average Price - Average price paid • Average Non-Deal Price - Average price paid when no consumer perceived deals were present. • Average Deal Price - Average price paid for purchases made on a consumer perceived deal. • % Volume Purchased by Outlet Type - % of specified item’s volume that was purchased in each outlet. • Buyers Projected - Number of households purchasing the specified item. • Raw Buyers (N =) - (Sample Size) Unprojected panel households purchasing the specified item.

  9. Common Errors or Cautions in the Interpretation of Market Summary Analysis • As a general rule, none of the base measurements are additive ! • Buying rate, purchase frequency and purchase size, represent average behavior and should not be taken literally ! • Average purchase frequency can not be used to calculate purchase cycle. • Example: 365 days divided by average annual category frequency of 10 times does not equate to a purchase cycle of 36.5 days. • Reason: Average purchase frequency includes households who make only one purchase during the given time frame and, therefore, do not have a purchase cycle. This measure can only be calculated among households with a purchase frequency of greater than one. • Loyalty (Share of Requirements) measurements over shorter time periods will almost always lead to higher figures. • Penetration-based marketing efforts can have a negative impact on loyalty. The more new brand buyers that are brought in, the greater the likelihood that total brand loyalty will erode. The reverse is also true. • Declines in penetration levels almost always lead to increased loyalty levels.

  10. Demographic Profiles Report Model • Identifies those demographic groups which make up the largest portions of a brand’s total buyer base as well as a disproportionate share of sales. • Provides a complete picture of the characteristics for brand buyers and other groups of interest. Applications/Questions • What types of households typically buy my products ? • Is my product positioned (through advertising and promotion) to reach these buyers? • How do the buyers of my brand compare to buyers of my competitors ? • Should I target my advertising to buyers of their products ? • Should I introduce a product similar to my competitor’s to appeal to a different customer profile ? • How has the profile of my buyers changed ? • Did my line extension bring in a different type of buyer ?

  11. Demographic Definitions What are the demographic characteristics that we most commonly utilize in analyses? • Household Income • Household Size • Female Head Age • Age/Presence of Children • Female Head Employment • Female Head Education • Household Head Occupation • Race/Origin • Household Lifestages • Household Affluency • County Size • Census Regions

  12. Demographic Profile Definitions Household Lifestages • Young Singles - Households with one member under 35 years old. • Childless Younger Couples - 1+ member households, under 35 years old with no children under 18. • New Families - Households with children under 6 years old only. • Maturing Families - Households with children aged 6-17 years old. • Established Families - Households with children aged 13-17 years. • Middle-Aged Singles - Households with one member aged between 35-54 years old. • Middle-Aged Childless Couples - 1+ member households, aged between 35-54 years old, with no children under 18. • Older Singles - Households with one member over 55 years old. • Empty Nesters - 1+ member households, aged between 55-64, with no children under 18.

  13. Demographic Profile Definitions Per Capita Income Definitions HH’s are Defined by:PoorGetting ByComfortableAffluent 1 Member Income 0-$9,999 10-$19,999 20-$39,999 $40,000+ 2 Member Income 0-$11,999 12-$24,999 25-$49,999 $50,000+ 3 Member Income 0-$14,999 15-$29,999 30-$59,999 $60,000+ 4 Member Income 0-$19,999 20-$39,999 40-$69,999 $70,000+ 5+ Member Income 0-$24,999 25-$49,999 50-$99,999 $100,000+

  14. Common Errors or Cautions in the Interpretation/Use of Demographic Profiles • Use caution when examining demographic profiles among buyer groups that contain less than 200 raw (unprojected) sample households. • Use caution when interpreting results from any demographic segment in which the raw buyer count is less than 30 households. • Analyses of indices can be misleading without also examining the relative size of a demographic segment. High volume or high buyer indices may not offer much potential if a segment accounts for a small percentage of the population.

  15. Comparing Household and Store Level Data • Projected volume from the household panel can be compared to universe estimates from scanning data or shipment data. • While projected volume should not be expected to “match” exactly, the data should be directionally similar in terms of brand shares and trends. • An estimated 10% of Scantrack volume is purchased for use outside the home and, therefore, would not be reported by the panel. • The two services are sampling different universes: • Scantrack: $2MM + Grocery Stores • Household: Contiguous U.S. Households • Scantrack samples scanning stores only • Household collects purchase data from all stores • Sampling ratios are more robust for Scantrack than Household: • Scantrack: 1 in every 11 stores is a sample store • Household: 1 in every 2400 households is a panelist (40,000 household panel)

  16. Issues to consider when comparing Panel and Scantrack data • Scantrack measures all volume moving through $2MM+ grocery stores. • Household measures volume consumed by households usually in the home. • Some consumer purchases never make it into the home (i.e. candy bars, canned soda, single-serve snacks, travel size HBA’s) • “Industrial” purchases at retail (laundromats, day care centers) would not be captured. • Basis for volume projection is different: • Scantrack projects to all commodity volume • Household projects to Total U.S. population based on household type incidence. • Outlet types are self-classified by panelists (given guidelines) • Snantrack sample stores and organizations are specifically identified in the Scantrack sample.
