Shopper Insights Training & Assessment Solutions

 

Training Overview

Develop deep Shopper understanding and insights that inspire informed strategy and tactics. Outdated processes and thinking put Shoppers’ needs out of focus in category management, retail, shopper insights, and shopper marketing.

CMKG’s Shopper Insights Training Program helps individuals and teams develop a strategic approach in their shopper insights work. Individuals and shopper insights teams are propelled to clearer business actions by identifying and solving the what and why behind Shopper action and inaction.
