Shopper psychology Training Course by Tony Durham

Attracting a shopper's attention is particularly challenging in today's overwhelming environment, spanning marketing materials, packaging, point of sale (POS), and the competition for visibility both in-store and online. To achieve success, understanding how individuals decide what to focus on, what captures their attention, what retains it, and how to tap into established brand associations is crucial. This involves strategically diverting attention away from competitors.

The shopper psychology training will concentrate on the elements of: Attention, Reason and Decision to provide a comprehensive guide on winning with the shopper. This includes insights into leveraging the concept of the "lazy brain" for attention-grabbing, understanding the impact of color, shape, pictures, gaze direction, and color contrast on visibility. The training will illuminate how the brain tends to overlook consistent elements, emphasizing the importance of creating distinctions.

Additionally, the program will delve into framing and presenting information aligned with how shoppers process information. It will address identifying factors that hinder a shopper from understanding why they should choose your brand and provide strategies for overcoming these barriers through effective presentation techniques. Moreover, the training will cover various ways to encourage shoppers to choose your brand right away.
