PRS and IN VIVO Have a Shared Philosophy, Based on Our Collective Experience
Real life purchase decisions are:
Overwhelmingly behavioral, rather than rational.
- We believe primarily in what people do, rather than what they say.
Greatly influenced by competitive context.
- To accurately gauge behavior, we need to place shoppers in realistic shopping contexts.
Driven primarily by what is seen, understood and shop-able at shelf.
- These behavioral measures are the most predictive of in-market performance.

What Shoppers Say…
My purchases
are pre-planned My purchases
are pre-planned.
My purchases are driven
by features, benefits & pricing.
When Asked, Shoppers Typically Cite Rational Factors…
7 7
…What Shoppers See…
…But at the Shelf, They Encounter Overwhelming Choice…
8 8
…and What Shoppers Do!
…and The Shopping Process is Largely About De-Selection.

…or a Digital World of Overwhelming Choice…

Shopping is Driven and Dominated by “System 1” Thinking, but Research Often Focuses on System 2.
Autonomic, unconscious, lightening fast, leverages emotion and generates
strong feelings of certainty.
Rational, conscious, requires effort, works
slowly, examines, calculates and weighs evidence.
32 + 42 = X2 ?
…We Use Two Systems of Thinking.

Which In-Store Message is Most Impactful?
13 13
Sub-Conscious Factors Drive Our Decisions...
We are not rational agents
maximizing self-interest…
… but humans driven by impulse,
habits and context…
14 14 14
…These Implicit Forces & Biases are Consistent and Predictable…
15 15 15
The Impact of “Anchoring”
Some stores had a sign:
“No More Than
12 Cans per Person”
…and Some Stores Did Not.
• Purchase Rate Without the Sign:
3.3 units/shopper
• Purchase Rate With the Sign:
7.0 units/shopper
A Price Promotion for Soup…
($0.79 instead of $0.89)

Why is Nudge So Successful?

Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference!
Prof. Dan Ariely (Duke University)
“When we think about what drives human behavior, we typically think in terms of objectives, goals & aspirations.
The reality is that most behavior is driven by small things in the environment.”
