Product Description
How Today's Shoppers Really Think, Behave, and Buy: Breakthrough Insights for Creating High-Profit Retail Experiences! "Inside the Mind of the Shopper is the preeminent handbook for any marketer or retailer seeking to understand why people do what they do when they shop. Armed with the knowledge in this book, marketers and retailers can work together to predict how shoppers will respond (or not!) to package and label design, selling messages, shelf plans, and the entire retail space." --Matt Ohligschlager, Senior Manager, Consumer and Market Knowledge, Procter & Gamble "From his 40 years of observing shoppers, Herb Sorensen has given us the gift of understanding shoppers. Now, we clearly see that the store layouts merchants want are not what shoppers want. On the ground, managers THINK they know their shoppers, but anyone who follows Herb's handbook on shopper insights will know them a lot better." --Joel Rubinson, Chief Research Officer, The Advertising Research Foundation Today, improving the effectiveness of the retail experience is no longer an option: It's a matter of survival--and nobody knows more about doing that than Herb Sorensen. That's because Sorensen understands your customer's in-store behavior better than anyone else on earth. Now, drawing on microscopic analysis of millions of shopping trips, Sorensen reveals exactly what your customers are thinking, why they behave as they do, and how to reshape stores to deliver truly remarkable results. You'll discover how to drive more profit from the "quick trip"...the three "moments of truth" in every shopping event...customer "migration patterns" within the store...and how to use "active retailing" to place products precisely where they'll do best.

 Real World Research is Priceless October 26, 2009
R. Anderson (Calgary, AB Canada)
Great insight on behavioral response Shopper Marketing. A must read for both Retailers and Manufacturers that collaboratively bring in-store, decision point initiatives alive.
 Credible Research July 10, 2009
Leo MacLeod (Portland, OR)
What is interesting about this book is the focus on shopper behavior rather than shopper comments to draw the conclusions. People aren't reliable sources for predicting behavior. Behavior is the best predictor of behavior. By looking at where shoppers go, how long they take, and what they actually buy, Dr. Sorensen sheds new light on how retailers and brands can capitalize on the truth right under their noses!
Intriguing Read July 8, 2009

"Inside" has changed my outlook on shopping. I may not have completely changed my personal shopping habits, but the book has improved my approach on how I merchandise my own merchandise.
