Retail & shopper research

At Clusters, we harness our extensive experience in the retail sector to deliver in-depth insights and strategic guidance to retail brands worldwide. Our bespoke market research solutions help retailers from small boutiques to multinational chains understand their market, innovate, and stay ahead of competitors.

Our experience

Vision Express

For 15 years Clusters conducted a regular brand and advertising tracking study to monitor optical consumers across the UK. This tracker was utilised by the Vision Express marketing team to aid strategic decisions and give a voice to optical customers. Over the years, Vision Express had benefited from an ever-growing rich dataset, which helped identify trends and prompt specific actions

Luxury boot retailer

We partnered with a leading wellington boots brand for a number of years to better understand the needs of shoppers who spend over £100 on a pair of wellington boots. The insights have been fundamental in shaping its proposition and strategy to bring in new customers, enabling the brand to launch new ranges and products.

Online furniture retailer

We carried out a customer segmentation for an online-only furniture retailer who was looking to better understand its current customers and broader target market. This included insights into how to optimise its product portfolio and make its brand positioning more compelling amongst the most valuable customer segments.

How we help retailers and brands

Shopping behaviour insights

Explore how consumers interact with your brand across different channels, understand their purchasing journey, and identify key touchpoints that influence buying decisions.

cUSTOMER SEGMENTATION

Gain a deeper understanding of your current and potential customer base by segmenting them based on their needs, motivations, barriers, psychographic, and behavioural criteria. This type of segmentation enables you to create targeted marketing strategies and personalised customer experiences, driving loyalty and sales.

nEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Before launching new products, we help you understand how they resonate with your target audience. Our product testing services range from concept testing and prototype feedback to packaging and price evaluations.

Brand tracking

Stay on top of brand health with continuous feedback on your brand’s performance, consumer loyalty, and brand equity across various market segments. This allows for timely adjustments in strategy to maintain a competitive edge

Our insights: What drives consumers to download a brand’s app?

While apps can enhance a consumer’s shopping experience through added security, rewards, and exclusive access, our latest insights show that brands need to develop their app around the specific motivations and barriers of their target audience. Not only this, but thorough pre-launch testing is essential to confirm that the features developed are the ones most likely to attract and retain users.
