Giggles rise from the couch.
It’s movie night. Your kids are snuggled beside you, snacks in hand—with a nice, toasty blanket laid across their laps. You smile as their warm little hands reach for the bowl, excited for more snacks. They’re loving the salty, cheesy crunch of this new brand. Great job mama, healthy new snacks that everyone loves.
Now, imagine you’re the snack brand. You’d want every detail, right? Their experience can go a long way in guiding design, merchandising, and marketing. Time to research for a brand-new product.
But, it doesn’t start at home.
No. This experience is in-store first. That’s where your research begins. You need to know what it’s like to walk in-store, search the aisles, and look for the perfect family snack. You’re in luck. There’s an app for that.

As the nation’s largest, highest-rated consumer panel, SOTG locates panelists in real-time. Here, the app looked for qualifying natural purchasers in-store. As they went inside, SOTG triggered a survey straight to their phones. Then, followed them home for an evaluation.

About the snack brand
A brand-new family snack, launching into the aisle for the first time. Neither the story nor its case-study PDF names the company — the PDF cover reads only “Snack Food Case Study” — so the source’s own descriptor is carried here rather than a guess.
