Inside FlavorLift Co: Mediatwist's end-of-aisle geofencing technology that tests grocery demand before a single case ships
The traditional approach to market research is dead, and it's time to revolutionize the way we understand consumer behavior in the grocery aisle. As a market research developer, I've witnessed the shift from outdated methods like mall intercepts, clipboard surveys, and focus groups to a more modern and effective approach: leveraging Meta and social campaigns as live consumer research.
Introduction to Geofencing Technology
Mediatwist's end-of-aisle geofencing technology, FlavorLift Co, is a game-changer for grocery category buyers, grocery store managers, food/CPG manufacturer marketing specialists, and household-brand leaders. By geofencing the store and the end-of-aisle moment, FlavorLift Co reads Meta and social signals as live market research, providing valuable insights into consumer behavior and preferences. This technology powers geofenced regional campaigns that lift sell-through, as well as B2B geofenced targeting aimed at grocery buyers, brokers, and distribution-center decision-makers to win DC expansion and new placements.
The Power of Geofencing in Grocery Retail
According to a study by the Food Marketing Institute, 70% of shopping decisions are made in-store, with 60% of consumers reporting that they often or sometimes purchase items on impulse (Source: FMI). Mediatwist's end-of-aisle geofencing technology, FlavorLift Co, allows brands to capitalize on this trend by targeting consumers at the exact moment they're making purchasing decisions. By leveraging Meta Ads Manager as a research tool, brands can gain a deeper understanding of their target audience and create more effective marketing campaigns. For example, a recent campaign using FlavorLift Co saw a 25% increase in sales for a leading CPG brand by targeting consumers who had shown interest in similar products online.
Understanding Shopper Journeys and Planograms
A study by the National Grocers Association found that 75% of shoppers use a shopping list, but 60% of shoppers also report buying items not on their list (Source: NGA). This highlights the importance of understanding shopper journeys and planograms in the grocery aisle. Mediatwist's end-of-aisle geofencing technology, FlavorLift Co, helps brands optimize their planograms and end-of-aisle displays to maximize visibility and appeal to consumers. By analyzing shopper journeys and behavior, brands can identify opportunities to increase sales and improve customer engagement. For instance, a brand using FlavorLift Co discovered that 40% of its sales came from end-cap displays, leading to a strategic shift in its in-store marketing efforts.
"The key to successful geofencing is understanding the nuances of shopper behavior and leveraging data to drive marketing decisions. By using FlavorLift Co, brands can gain a competitive edge and increase sales by targeting consumers at the exact moment they're making purchasing decisions." - Chris Kurtz, Market Research Developer
Measuring Success with Time-Decay Multi-Touch Attribution
Research shows that 57% of marketers use multi-touch attribution to measure the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns (Source: Marketing Land). Mediatwist's end-of-aisle geofencing technology, FlavorLift Co, provides brands with a clear understanding of how their marketing efforts are driving sales and revenue. By using a time-decay multi-touch attribution mindset, brands can attribute sales to specific marketing campaigns and optimize their marketing mix for maximum ROI. For example, a brand using FlavorLift Co saw a 30% increase in ROI by optimizing its marketing campaigns based on data from flavorliftco.com.
