Pathway To PurchaseKnow the road your customers travel from inspiration to purchase
How do your customers navigate their purchases?
The pathway to sales is not always a straight line. What does your customer’s journey look like? Does it have multiple points of influence? When you know a customer’s pathway to purchase, you can shape their experience and have it lead toward your brand. Using the Hanover Research Pathway to Purchase solution, we reveal triggers that initiate a sales path. You’ll know which customers purchase certain types of products. You’ll even learn the characteristics of high and low-frequency buyers, purchase channels, brand considerations, and more.
Built upon reliable quantitative survey results and thoughtful qualitative research, Hanover Research data scientists are able to define and explain the audience’s path to purchase and you’ll learn where your brand needs to go next.
Companies that tailor offerings to buyer segments secure 15% more annual profit.
