Plus One: How to Incent Unplanned Purchases

Growth in ecommerce, self-checkouts, click and collect and shifts in consumer shopping behaviors have all had an impact on unplanned purchases in candy and snacks. Fewer top-of-mind opportunities for consumers to make spur-of-the-moment purchases has had a significant impact on front-end sales. Retailers and manufacturers are trying to figure out how to incent a “plus one” purchase in this new retail environment. This session will explore unplanned purchases across many categories, omnicommerce touchpoints and channels to understand what happens when unplanned purchases occur. Attendees will learn new insights and opportunities across four growth paths: stores, online, ambient environments and the home.
