“I need to know what shoppers actually see. Not what they say they see.”
Self-reported data has a fundamental flaw. Ask shoppers what they noticed and they’ll tell you what they think you want to hear or what they remember, which isn’t the same thing as what actually happened. Purchase decisions are often made in seconds and driven by instinct. You can’t unpack that with a survey.
What they saw and what they actually saw are rarely the same thing.
