Background: The Fitness Nutrition Market is Growing... and Cluttered

Fitness nutrition is an $11-billion-dollar industry, on pace for 8.27% CAGR through 2020. It’s a huge opportunity for hundreds of brands in the space who are all jockeying for position in a crowded marketplace. At Perfect Bar, the emerging brand had recently secured major quad.proteinbar-687775-edited-818221-edited.jpgdistribution deals that placed its products across thousands of U.S. stores. The challenge now was to encourage shoppers to find Perfect Bar inside these new stores – proving to its retail partners that the brand was here to stay. Knowing today’s modern shopper, mobile in-store was a critical consideration for Perfect Bar to get the job done. 

 
 

Challenge: Perfect Bar Needed to Drive Product Discovery in an Unexpected Place – the Refrigerated Foods Section

The food bar market is one of the most crowded and competitive segments of the modern CPG market. To further complicate the challenge, Perfect Bar – which contains 20 nutrient-dense organic ingredients – must be stocked in the refrigerated aisle, far away from competitive, unrefrigerated food bars. In this setting, the consumer might have already selected a different product before reaching Perfect Bar – or worse, not find it at all.

Out of Store Solution: Segmenting Shoppers + Predicting Store Visits

Leveraging InMarket’s Audiences program, Perfect Bar used best-in-class location data to target customized audience segments based on their real-world store visit history. Creative was delivered only to health-conscious shoppers who frequented target retailers, as defined by InMarket Location Data. 

Then, through InMarket’s Preceptivity predictive cross-channel solution, Perfect Bar gained the ability to predict when shoppers were “due” for their next store visit, deploying creative across mobile and desktop at the perfect moments when individual shoppers were most receptive. Preceptivity drives huge ROI because it eliminates wasted impressions that occur after a store visit when a shopper is unreceptive.
