Consumer Packaged Goods Solutions

The competition for consumer's grocery, health and overall retail dollars is clearly intensifying, especially as retailers battle for share of wallet. CPG manufacturers and retailers both need granular insight into target consumer segments to help drive decisions on critical issues, including: maximizing the impact of category management efforts, improving customer satisfaction, evaluating competitive threats, measuring new brand performance and reversing share losses.

comScore addresses these vital issues and more with a suite of products specific to the CPG industry. comScore delivers extraordinary insight based on the browsing and actual buying behavior of more than 2 million participants who have given comScore permission to observe the complete details of their online activity.

comScore marries this powerful database of observed behavior with purchase history and intent, gathered through custom surveys, to develop a robust consumer profiling system, which can be used to improve marketing strategies and programs for existing and new brands.

VIVID™ Profiles
comScore's Vivid™ profiling system delivers deep insight into consumer behavior and attitudes. By combining comScore's proprietary database of consumer behavior, which includes complete details of panelists' Web-wide content consumption, with insight into product usage and purchase intent collected through surveys of the comScore panelists, Vivid™ reveals the true passions, interests and lifestyles of any target segment. When compared to existing lifestyle databases — most of which are only updated infrequently — Vivid™ provides more actionable insight for the design of media and marketing plans for both new products and established brands.
