   9. PART II: Going Deeper into the Shopper’s Mind
      1. 6. The Quick-Trip Paradox: An Interview with Unilever’s Mike Twitty
         1. How do you define a quick trip?
         2. Why do shoppers make so many quick trips?
         3. What factors do consumers consider in deciding where and how to shop?
         4. How do consumers think about shopping trips?
         5. What did you learn from this research?
         6. How could it be that even warehouse clubs and supercenters—whose design so strongly encourages stock-up shopping—receive more quick trips than stock-up or fill-in trips?
         7. Given that quick trips account for two-thirds of shopping trips, how can retailers and manufacturers cater to these shoppers?
         8. What is the Quick-Trip Paradox?
         9. Given this paradox, how can retailers and manufacturers capitalize on the quick trip?
         10. Could the shoppers’ motives for making the trip offer insights into the best assortment to offer?
         11. How can retailers best meet the needs of quick-trip shoppers?
         12. What are the implications for retailers and manufacturers?
         13. Endnotes
      2. 7. Integrating Online and Offline Retailing: An Interview with Professors Peter Fader (The Wharton School) and Wendy Moe (University of Maryland)
         1. How did the Internet change the study of shopping behavior?
         2. In what way are the online and offline patterns similar?
         3. Studying the Same Shoppers on Different Paths
         4. How are paths in the supermarket similar to paths online?
         5. Can online retailers learn from offline shopper behavior?
         6. Tell me about what you’ve found out about crowd behavior?
         7. What have you learned about licensing and sequencing—such as the purchase of vice items after virtue items?
         8. What have you found out about the pace of the shopping trip?
         9. What have you learned about shopping momentum?
         10. What have you learned about the role of variety in shopping?
         11. What have you learned about efficiency? Is it better to allow shoppers to get quickly in and out of the store, or should retailers try to prolong the trip?
         12. This raises the question of whether shoppers are in the store for utilitarian reasons alone, or if they are interested in an experience. What is the difference?
         13. What have you learned so far about what shoppers are looking for when they go online?
         14. How do online retailers use these insights about shopper visits?
         15. This captures the whole point of what we’ve called “active retailing.” Online is leading offline in this area. How does this come into the physical store?
         16. How do some of the complex forces of shopping behavior play out? Why is there a need for better modeling?
         17. What topics are you studying now?
         18. Endnotes
      3. 8. Multicultural Retailing: An Interview with Emil Morales, Executive Vice President of TNS Multicultural
         1. This book looks at how retailers need to move toward active retailing by anticipating and responding to shoppers’ needs. What does active retailing mean in the context of multicultural marketing?
         2. What are some of the challenges facing the multicultural shopper that retailers need to be aware of?
         3. What is the significance of the Hispanic segment in U.S. markets?
         4. What makes this segment attractive to retailers and manufacturers?
         5. How can manufacturers and retailers seize this opportunity?
         6. Why do Hispanic customers shop so many channels?
         7. Given the popularity of tienditas and other small stores, do U.S. Hispanic shoppers have any interest in larger stores?
         8. How does this use of many channels affect the way Hispanic shoppers plan to shop?
         9. How does the U.S. Hispanic market react to loyalty cards and other mechanisms to collect customer data?
         10. How does culture drive shopping behavior?
         11. You mentioned the second aspect of culture, subjective culture. How does this affect shopper behavior?
         12. How does the process of acculturation unfold and what do retailers need to know about it?
         13. Given the close family relationships in Hispanic culture, how do retailers need to respond?
         14. What issues of product selection or packaging do retailers and manufacturers need to address for this segment?
         15. How are companies winning with U.S. Hispanic consumers?
         16. How successful have manufacturers and retailers been in responding to the opportunity of the U.S. Hispanic market segment?
         17. Can you give an example of how a retailer or manufacturer has used an understanding of multicultural marketing and U.S. Hispanic markets to build its business?
         18. You’ve focused on Hispanic markets in the U.S. How do these insights apply to other markets?
         19. In closing, what would be your top tips for retailers and manufacturers who seek to address multicultural shoppers?
         20. Endnotes
      4. 9. Insights into Action: A Retailer Responds: An Interview with Mark Heckman of Marsh Supermarkets
         1. What are the most important things to keep in mind when implementing changes in the retail format, such as those described in this book?
         2. What have been the results in the stores you’ve redesigned?
         3. How are retailers beginning to implement new designs, such as serpentine or inverted perimeter approaches (discussed in Chapter 3)?
         4. How do retailers decide whether to take new approaches?
         5. In my opinion, what supermarkets are doing is trying what works willy-nilly. You are going to get a lot more tweaking of what works than you are radical departures. What do you think?
         6. At Marsh, are you moving in the direction of an inverted store (as discussed in Chapter 3)?
         7. How do shoppers react to these new formats?
         8. Shoppers will hang in there to learn the new store formats?
         9. Are you comfortable with the idea that customers become shoppers only within the walls of the store?
         10. You’ve looked a lot at pre-shopping, which we have not considered in the book. How do people decide what store to shop at, and what kind of metrics do you look at outside the store?
         11. Can you shed some light on what are the half dozen most important metrics you use?
         12. One measure we are using is how many seconds it takes for each store to generate a dollar of sales. They run anywhere from 30 seconds to 120 per dollar. What do you think about this measure?
         13. Do you have your own shopper segmentation scheme at Marsh?
         14. Are you doing something distinctly to serve quick trippers?
         15. Is there a brand/retailer partnership?
         16. What shoppers tell us is sometimes a very poor source?
         17. I think shoppers would love to spend a lot more money in stores, but they can’t figure out how to do it. I think there’s a huge amount of unfulfilled shopping out there. What do you think?
         18. What are you doing with new technologies?
