You want your customers to like it and you want it to work well for your business model. But, there’s no cookie-cutter way to create a great strategy. Every customer would love ridiculously low prices every day, but that comes at a major cost to your brand.

For a shopper, not much thought is given to walking into a brick-and-mortar store, finding the right product quickly and easily, and checking out with no hassle. Behind the scenes, however, is a completely different story. For brands and retailers, especially in the consumer packaged goods space, the exact opposite is true. A lot of thought goes into the shopper experience, and how they can find exactly what they’re looking for (or what you want them to look for).
