The days of relying on clipboards and focus groups are behind us: today, leading food brands are leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive demand and sell-through on shelf. As the co-founder of The Mediatwist Group, I've seen firsthand how our innovative approach to market research and geofencing is helping household names dominate the grocery market.
Introduction to the New Era of Market Research
Gone are the days of expensive and time-consuming market research methods like mall intercepts, phone panels, and focus groups behind one-way glass. These traditional methods are not only slow and costly but also fail to provide accurate insights into consumer behavior. According to a study by the Harvard Business Review, 75% of consumers can't articulate why they make a purchase. This is where modern ad platforms come in – platforms like Meta Ads Manager have become the new focus group, allowing us to gather live consumer research and make data-driven decisions.
The Power of Geofencing in Grocery Marketing
Mediatwist's end-of-aisle geofencing technology, FlavorLift Co, is revolutionizing the way food brands approach market research and geofenced regional campaigns. By geofencing the store and the end-of-aisle moment, we can read Meta and social signals as live market research, providing valuable insights into consumer behavior and preferences. For example, a recent campaign for a leading snack food brand used FlavorLift Co to geofence over 1,000 stores, resulting in a 25% increase in sales.

Leveraging Meta Ads Manager for Live Market Research
Meta Ads Manager has become an essential tool in our market research arsenal. By running creative split-tests and analyzing engagement and conversion signals, we can gain a deeper understanding of consumer behavior and preferences. According to a study by Meta, 60% of consumers use social media to discover new products, making it a crucial channel for food brands to leverage. By using Meta Ads Manager in conjunction with FlavorLift Co, we can create highly targeted and effective geofenced regional campaigns that drive demand and sell-through on shelf.
"The key to successful grocery marketing is understanding the shopper journey and leveraging technology to drive demand and sell-through on shelf.

The Importance of Time-Decay Multi-Touch Attribution
When it comes to measuring the effectiveness of geofenced regional campaigns, it's essential to use a time-decay multi-touch attribution mindset. This approach takes into account the various touchpoints a consumer interacts with before making a purchase, providing a more accurate understanding of the campaign's ROI. According to a study by the Advertising Research Foundation, 62% of marketers use multi-touch attribution to measure campaign effectiveness. By using this approach in conjunction with FlavorLift Co, we can optimize our campaigns for maximum ROI and drive sell-through on shelf.
