About TNS Shopper360®
TNS Shopper360 is the largest industry shopper survey providing key insights into consumer attitudes and "the why behind the buy". Building on the strength of TNS' managed access household panel, about 70,000 shoppers are surveyed online each autumn to gain key foundational insights in three main areas:
Shopper Insights - Looks at the lives of shoppers to provide a glimpse into the underlying attitudes, beliefs, and lifestyles that influence their shopping behavior
Trip Insights - Captures information from shoppers' past two retailer visits: reasons for store choice, how they prepared for the trip, and within-trip details
Store Insights - Examines how customers evaluate their experience with retailers and within specific departments. Information is available for over 200 retailers.
The Shopper360 team combines proprietary segmentation and modeling methods with keen analytical experience and expertise to provide clients with meaningful, in-depth information on the Shopper, Trip, and Store Experience as seen through the eyes of the consumer. Results are utilized across different functional areas including Trade/Shopper Marketing, Category Management and Field Sales.
