About the role
A shopper marketing executive studies how people choose at the point of purchase and removes barriers to conversion. The panel wants to see that you can distinguish shoppers from consumers, translate insight into channel activity and measure what changed at the shelf.
How to prepare
- Prepare an example where observation or research changed an activation idea.
- Review the stages and touchpoints in a typical shopper journey for one category.
- Practise turning a purchase barrier into a specific message or mechanic.
- Think through how you would compare test and control stores fairly.
- Prepare to explain how you brief and challenge a creative or research agency.
Common mistakes
- Using consumer preference as a substitute for evidence about the purchase decision.
- Suggesting more signage without identifying the barrier it should remove.
- Comparing stores without checking differences in stock, traffic or execution.
