Giant Eagle & Upside: Live from Groceryshop

What we covered

Economic sentiments and behavior changes

Despite positive economic indicators, a majority of Americans see an economy in decline. How is that affecting their spending?

Price sensitivity breeds “uncommitted customers”

Shoppers with everything they need at their fingertips are comparing prices across stores to maximize value for their real-time needs.

Loyalty and pricing: Areas ripe for growth

We polled thousands of consumers on loyalty programming and dynamic pricing, so retailers can plan their investments accordingly. 
IN THIS WEBINAR

What you need to know about today’s consumer

The number of uncommitted customers is growing — and they make up a majority of today’s shoppers. To win more of their transactions, you have to understand who they are, how they shop, and what they want. We have the data.
