Existing Packaging Retail Audits
In-store retail audit across four major retailers, encompassing big box, regional, and specialtyoutdoor. We observed shopper behavior, product presentation, and shelf conditions across aisles. We also conducted interviews with floor sales reps in each retail location.
Six categories observed:
hike, camp, filtration, run, cycling and impulse.
