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.
