Ethnography Case Study
2
In order to increase sales, it’s important to understand what happens within the mind of the consumer while in the retail aisle. This case study is based on research conducted during my years at Black & Decker, rebuilding the Society Brass Collection brand of door hardware. The study describes observations and interviews among consumers while shopping for door hardware. Consumers were observed, their behavior quantified, and additional in-depth interviews conducted. During the interviews, consumers shared insight into their shopping process and explained reasons for their observed behavior. Results present an in-depth understanding of how retail cues, product placement, brand loyalty and package design impact the purchase decision while in the retail aisle.

finding
although brand may not be the main reason consumers gravitate towards the center
once their, the brand is associated with mid-price due to it’s relative location to other brands

The fact that most consumers start their shopping
“front and center” suggests that no
other location is more effective in
capturing the consumer’s attention
implication

investing in the right aisle position may prove far more valuable than
gaining displays and space in other areas of the store
implication

because consumers enter the aisle with little category knowledge (the high-end is the exception) price is an important guide
finding
40
![Page 41: SBC Ethnographic Case Study](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051400/54b765dc4a7959a23c8b4785/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

beyond assurance of durability, the high-end consumer needs to feel a sense of superior craftsmanship, in this case communicated by a “special experience”
implication
