What is the philosophy of Danone to win at the moment of purchase?

Who buys Fresh Dairy Products?

98 % of Belgium's households consumes FDP

at least once a year.

81% of FDP purchases are pre-planned.

73% of shoppers claim they knew exactly the product, the brand, the flavor they intended to buy.

Shoppers buy FDP less than once a week, and

most of the time just 1 product. They spend

less than 1 minute in the FDP shelf.


Source: Shopper Study TNS 2011


85% of shoppers are looking at the

freshness of FDP products

33% is searching for the best date

Only 64% of shoppers consider that the new

products stand-out on-shelf (56% for promotions)

Current category display is restricting explorative behaviour hence impulse buying


The highway towards shopper dream store

How to win @ the moment of purchase?

A way of working

… engaging all partners of Danone & the Customer (Danone: Customer Marketing, KAM, Logistic, Field force)

(Customer: Catman, Buyer, Logistic, Store Manager, Regional,…)

… based on a deep understanding of the shopper behavior

… in order to grow the total category

… thanks to a higher shopper satisfaction.

“All these colours… I feel lost”

“I always buy a product in the FDP shelf. Always the

same…”

“I can’t see any innovations in the shelf. They are not

impactful”

“I always go for the product I am looking

for, without watching others”

• What does the shopper says?

To have the right number of SKU’s

• If too much SKUs Poor visibility per product

Shopper can’t find his product = poor choice perception.

choice without affecting visibility.
