Enhance ‘shopability’ to help shoppers in over choice and reduce shopper stress by- Structure in assortment (catman)

- Consumer decision support systems – POS materials- Clear indication of key benefits and variants- Simple products and services

Verbal evaluation not always in line with intuitive behaviour (Impact strong brands often overrated in research)

Face reality & get out of your meeting room to meet your consumer & shopper

Embrace Key Brand Property and be consistent over time

Small changes can heavily impact intuitive behavior

…. and keep your brand promise (the fastest way to kill a product = not meeting expectations)
