Challenge and objectives

Challenge and objectives

To gain a robust understanding of the Click & Collect digital path to purchase across key categories, Kellogg’s needed to:

Quantify motivators and barriers to conversion for Kellogg's categories

Identify pain points in the e-commerce experience

Gain a richer and more contextual understanding of shoppers’ experiences

Identify roadblocks to Kellogg’s category purchases

COVID-19 accelerated e-commerce sales, resulting in an influx of new online grocery shoppers.

Kellogg's wanted to understand how grocery shopping was evolving in order to win in the "Bricks and Order" world.

The solution

Working with Reach3 Insights, Kellogg’s used the Rival platform to engage with shoppers through a multi-faceted quant and qual approach.

The research study comprised of (n=2400) current Click & Collect shoppers at one of the following retailers: Walmart, Target, Kroger, Albertson’s, Sam’s Club, and Instacart.

In addition to quant, the chats included video feedback and emotional elicitation exercises to get participants to think more deeply about the questions being asked.

Outcomes - The new platform delivered big wins:

One of Kellogg’s’ retail partners improved the "substitutions" feature to provide shoppers with more choices based on their needs and preferences.

Kellogg’s has built a relationship with a target group of shoppers invested in continually giving their thoughts and opinions, which in turn has allowed the company to save time and costs on future research initiatives.

Rich video selfies helped reveal contextual dynamics behind the e-commerce shopping experience and revealed several specific optimization areas that had the potential to increase conversion.

Overall, feedback gathered through Rival’s market research platform helped equip Kellogg’s and its retail partners with the insights needed to understand the habits, behaviors, and preferences of their online shoppers.
