CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IRI® today announced significant enhancements to its next generation consumer and shopper insights solution, IRI Shopper Loyalty™, which now covers more channels, geographies and retailers. The solution is among IRI’s portfolio of products that leverages de-identified frequent shopper program (FSP) data from over 350 million loyalty cardholders, which translates into a representative sample of more than 65 million households, with over 30 million weekly shopping trips to provide some of the most detailed and precise shopper intelligence ever available in the industry.
The IRI Shopper Loyalty insight solution provides seamless access to real-time analytics, delivered on IRI’s industry-leading Liquid Data® technology platform. This powerful, fully integrated solution helps retailers and manufacturers understand their consumers and shoppers like never before with insights into granular product features, such as fresh/random weight and flavors, in-store causal factors, merchandising and promotion tactics, demographics, and attitudinal and purchase-based segmentations that drive actual shopper behavior.
“The Shopper Loyalty solution is another critical step forward in IRI’s mission to enhance marketers’ ability to better understand consumer and shopper behavior,” said Robert I. Tomei, president of Market and Shopper Intelligence for IRI. “By embedding the largest integrated consumer and shopper data set into the IRI Shopper Loyalty solution, we are providing the most precise, detailed shopper-based analytics ever available in the industry to help marketers better understand behavior, measure new product launches, evaluate promotional campaigns, pricing and assortment optimization and more. The scale and depth of our Shopper Loyalty insight solution provides the same speed, granularity and accuracy of core POS measurement solutions with a first ever shopper view overlay.”

- The industry’s largest integrated, FSP-based insight platform: Includes proprietary de-identified data from a pool of more than 350 million national shopper loyalty cardholders.
