The retail landscape for independent grocers continues to evolve, with shopper behavior shifting dramatically in recent years. In this episode of Shopper Matters, IGA VP Brand Development Michael La Kier speaks with AppCard SVP of Corporate Development Eran Harel about how independent grocers can leverage personalized marketing, shopper analytics, and digital coupons to stay competitive. Topics also include key strategies for enhancing shopper engagement, driving loyalty, and making data-driven decisions that impact the bottom line.

Clorox Team Lead, Grocery Analytics Scott Hanbury speaks to IGA VP Brand Development Michael La Kier about the importance of empathy and storytelling in data and analytics—two qualities that are often overlooked when crunching numbers. Importantly, Hanbury notes that independent grocers mistakenly think shoppers don’t want to find non-food items in the store. He shares details on Clorox’s “every food occasion” campaign, that reminds shoppers the brand is here for the meal and the mess with their brands, including Glad, Clorox, Kingsford, Hidden Valley Ranch, and more.
