3 Take-Aways
2019 sees continued
global decline in
satisfaction amongst
shoppers…
…Irish retailers doing
well in this context –
particularly Aldi!
Aldi is becoming a real
main/weekly shop
option for Irish
shoppers…
…Moving away from
Lidl in terms of how we
perceive them as a
‘Discounter’.
Finally, important to
know what role your
category plays in the
store…
…And how satisfied
shoppers are with how
you are delivering the
category to them.

Remember!
If you like/need anything
you’ve seen today we
can deliver it at a
category/brand/segment
level, retailer by retailer.
