How people buy

Consumer journey planning tool

We know that the purchase decision journey is a complex one, as consumers have more and more ways of finding out about and choosing brands and products. We have created a tool to help media planners navigate this complexity when planning media campaigns.

With it you will be able to determine:

which channels are best at influencing different types of purchase
which channels have the greatest influence at the different stages of the purchase journey
how different media channels help consumers decide which brand/product to buy

SHORT Everyday purchase such as grocery retail

SHORT NORMAL Where people already buy the product or visit the shop, and the goal is to maintain current penetration levels and encourage greater frequency

SHORT NEW Where the goal is to disrupt people’s current purchase patterns and get them to buy either a new brand or to visit a new shop

MEDIUM A less regular purchase, where the purchase cycle is likely to be every 1-2 years e.g. mobile phone handset

LONG A longer term purchase, where the purchase cycle is measured in years, likely to be 5+ e.g. car
