In the rapidly evolving retail landscape, mere observation of in-store sales won’t cut it anymore. With the surge in online shopping becoming a more pressing concern post-pandemic, eRetail data is now an absolute necessity for effective market and sales research and development. eRetail data provides an entirely new set of preferences, standards, and products.

If your company isn’t utilizing eRetail data insights, you could be missing out on a massive food market research opportunity. This is why we are excited to announce that the Tastewise platform is expanding.

What is eRetail?

eRetail, also known as electronic retail, refers to the buying and selling of goods and services through the Internet. It is a type of e-commerce that has seen tremendous growth in recent years due to the rise of online shopping.

E-retailers can range from small, independent businesses to large corporations with well-established online presence. With eRetail, customers can browse and purchase products online from the comfort of their own homes, making it a convenient and time-saving option for many consumers.

in the food market, eRetail has become increasingly popular as consumers are turning to online platforms for their grocery shopping. With the convenience of having groceries delivered to their doorstep and the ability to browse a wide range of products from different retailers, it’s no surprise that eRetail in the food market is on the rise.

Apart from convenience, eRetail also offers customers competitive pricing and access to a larger variety of products. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar stores, e-retailers do not have the same overhead costs and can therefore offer lower prices to their customers.

Additionally, with a larger online presence, e-retailers can stock a wider range of products, giving consumers more options to choose from.

Our eRetail Data for Effective Food Market Research

To keep our customers on the cutting edge of the food and beverage industry, our platform is incorporating the ever-growing eRetail space to maximize their understanding of online product performance and consumer sentiment.

This move is crucial for maximizing your understanding of online product performance and consumer sentiment.

This innovative solution provides a full 360 view of the consumer journey, capturing behaviors and preferences at every stage from diverse data sources. As a result, this solution simplifies decision-making for brands, offering a streamlined and holistic approach to data analysis.

How Will eRetail Data Affect Your Brand?

In the dynamic world of consumer goods, you need to have a complete view of the consumer at every touchpoint. Being the first to offer such a comprehensive perspective positions your brand as a thought leader, paving the way for more informed business decisions.

With eRetail data, you get to understand your product’s online performance in real-time and isolate untapped marketing or innovation opportunities.

You can enhance searches, isolating specific attributes like best sellers or shopper’s choice, meaning the products that are currently selling well, and the products that perform consistently well, respectively.

This allows you to determine what changes you need to make to enhance your product’s position within its category or maintain your product’s status through a changing market.

Traditional retail data doesn’t always give the full picture of what customers go through. But with eRetail shelf data, brands can connect the dots and understand how products are doing online, how visible they are, and what competitors are doing. It’s like having a super-powered retail radar, giving brands a clear view of the shopping scene.

To ensure our customers get the full 360 view of what is happening on their shelves, the eRetail data on the Tastewise platform allows brands to understand online product performance, how brands are perceived on social media, uses in home cooking, and visibility on menus with greater accuracy than ever before.

How Will It Be Introduced to the Tastewise Platform?

Detailed Viewing and Searching

Introducing eRetail data on the Tastewise platform brings detailed viewing and searching capabilities. Brands can explore online product performance, visibility, and competitor positioning with a previously unavailable granularity level.

Our data extends beyond a basic understanding of products and product descriptions, delving further into consumer needs and packaging claim opportunities to further enhance innovative decision-making and execution.

Review Incorporation

One unique feature of the eRetail data integration is incorporating reviews into performance calculations. Positive and negative reviews play a crucial role in shaping brand perception, and the Tastewise platform now considers these sentiments in its performance metrics for food market research.

The eRetail data on Tastewise provides advanced datasets for a comprehensive 360-degree market perspective. From understanding customer views to deep-diving into competitive insights, sentiment analysis, and identifying innovation opportunities, brands can leverage rich data, all in one place.
