New Pack counts or varieties? • Alternative shelf layout? How do we test these ideas in an efficient & cost-effective way without alienating shoppers?
Virtual store gives mondelēz a ‘safe’ testing environment • Study Design • 21 shelf sets • 400 monadic (stand-alone) reads • Screened for primary grocery shoppers 18-65 who purchased cookies, crackers or salty snacks in the last 6 months • MDLZ Multi-pack buyers • MDLZ Multi-pack non-buyers • Salty Snack multi-pack buyers • Moms/Dads w/kids ages 2-5, 6-12, 13-17 • Included post-survey questionnaire Virtual Store Demo #Consumer360
