Special Report: Impulse Goods in the Omnichannel Age

Now available for download! The first installment of Field Agent’s Categorically Speaking series takes a hard, shopper-centered look at traditional impulse goods—batteries, lip balm, single-serve snacks and beverages—and how they’re faring in today’s digital marketplace.

Based on studies with more than 3,000 shoppers, Categorically Speaking: Impulse Goods in the Omnichannel Age explores the challenges and possibilities of selling impulse goods to the ever-growing ranks of online grocery-shoppers.

The report answers questions like:

• How common are impulse purchases among shoppers who buy groceries and household consumables online?
• Do shoppers plan their online grocery/HC purchases as they do in-store shopping trips?
• How do impulse purchases of impulse goods differ from stores to online?
• Why don’t shoppers buy impulse goods online?
• What suggestions do shoppers have for selling impulse goods online?
