Persuasion in this instance refers to the role of in store staff in educating and persuading shoppers. It is a key lever used in Category Management and Shopper Marketing.
Persuasion Strategy asks and solves:
- Is our category an impulse, add-on or trade up opportunity?
- With which other products and categories are our products best sold in tandem?
- Can our brands be switch sold?
- What do we need to do to get store managers and staff to actively promote our products? What kinds of incentives and training programs are appropriate and compelling?
