Emerging Brands: Are You Asking the Right Questions About Your Buyers? 

Knowing who buys your product is only part of the story. To grow, emerging brands need to understand why consumers choose their product—and why some don’t come back. What drives trial? What prevents repeat? And what unmet needs or expectations are quietly holding you back? 

The Emerging Brand Expanded Omnishopper Essentials connects verified purchase behavior with custom survey insights, helping brands uncover the real reasons behind consumer decisions—both conscious and subconscious. 


What Motivates a First-Time Purchase?

Consumers don’t always buy based on brand loyalty. In fact, many are motivated by discovery, savings, or curiosity. Survey results show that coupons, shelf visibility, and the desire to try something new are among the top drivers of initial purchase. 

Understanding these motivators helps brands position their products more effectively—whether through pricing strategy, packaging, or in-store placement. The Emerging Brand Expanded Omnishopper Essentials allows you to explore these triggers directly with verified buyers, not just general respondents. . 


Satisfaction Ins’t Always Enough

Enjoyment and satisfaction don’t always translate into repeat purchases. While many consumers report liking a product’s taste or convenience, value perception often becomes the deciding factor. If the price doesn’t match the perceived benefit, even satisfied buyers may walk away. 

This disconnect is critical for emerging brands to address. Survey data reveals how consumers evaluate value, taste, and satisfaction, and how those perceptions influence future purchase intent. 


Barriers That Hold You Back

Pricing concerns, unmet expectations, and lack of standout flavor are among the top reasons consumers choose not to repurchase. Some buyers will cite some products as “not special,” “too expensive,” or simply “not what I expected.” 

These insights help brands identify and address the friction points that limit growth. Whether it’s refining flavor profiles, adjusting pack sizes, or rethinking pricing strategy, understanding these barriers is key to unlocking repeat behavior. 


From Insight to Action

The Emerging Brand Expanded Omnishopper Essentials isn’t just about collecting feedback, it’s about translating consumer sentiment into strategy. By linking attitudes to actual purchase behavior, brands can: 

  • Profile key buyer groups
