Shopper Marketing rises to the top of the marketing vocabulary globally and is now widely accepted as a profitable marketing practice growing 21% annually (Deloitte & Grocery Manufactures Association, 2013). Especially with retail brands, whether online or brick-and-mortar.
P&G is spending more than $500M annually on Shopper Marketing and is widely considered the pioneer in the industry with its first project in 1997 on how American moms actually shopped diapers and formulas. Now, P&G have surpassed Unilever as the top spot among brands (Adweek, 2013).
