Now you can better understand consumers' reactions to new products, packaging, labels, or other product features with simShopper. This innovative research tool simulates an in-store shopping experience by exposing the respondent to a virtual supermarket. The information collected can help you understand how consumers view your product alongside your competition, consumer preference for different packaging designs or sizing options for your own product, whether your product differentiates itself from the competition, as well as understanding what effect price has on consumer behavior in a store.
