“Using Shopperations as our Shopper platform we were able to establish a true Shopper initiative. From zero to 200+ events engaging a team of 5 Shopper experts across the country with the confidence that all these moving parts were in control. In my 29 years in the CPG industry, I have never ramped up a department that quickly. Shopperations gave us the visibility and accountability that allowed us to move at that pace.”

“While I was away on vacation, my Sales team suddenly needed to share our Shopper Marketing plans with a retail client. Instead of frantically calling me to send the latest calendar, they were able to log in and get all the answers in Shopperations. We love that Shopperations makes it effortless to keep everyone on the same page!”

Case Study

Outcome
Significantly reduced manual data touches and number of alignment meetings. Increased reporting accuracy, speed and granularity. Uncovered pockets of opportunity to re-allocate investments across product portfolio.

Vendorstan – the “Tinder” for CPG Marketers
First and Only CPG Tactic and Vendor Catalog
We are proud to announce our new vendor discovery platform for the CPG marketing industry. Vendorstan was inspired by our own and our clients’ struggles while trying to keep up with the fast-evolving media vendor landscape.

Vendorstan is our answer to the unstructured informational chaos and a “universal translator” for vendors and CPG marketers. Vendors can now present their capabilities in an easy to process format and CPG marketers can now find the perfect tactics and vendor partners to activate their brands and achieve their brand objectives.
