Spring Outlook: Takeaways
Weather willing, look forward to a strong few quarters for
home improvement, especially at the big boxes.
Shoppers across the board are feeling positive about spending more this
year. Keep in mind how different cohorts are approaching projects, and
work to orient solutions toward those lifestyle needs.
Drive brand while also enhancing the basket.
Messages around brands and product quality will help add value beyond
price as retailers look to drive traffic to the store. But be proactive to help
retailers craft solutions to help build the basket once shoppers are there.
Online engagement will become an increasingly important
tool to round out the home improvement experience.
Note the value of online and especially mobile to deepen relationships with
shoppers, and to add to the resources a retailer can offer on a category or
project basis.

Kantar Retail
Home Improvement Workshop
May 18, 2016 Atlanta, GA
Kantar Retail is forecasting growth of at least 4% in the home center channel in 2016, which is faster than the overall
retail marketplace for the fifth straight year. Still, potential challenges lurk for big-box home improvement retailers,
including the shifting makeup of their shopper base to the influence of less-prominent players. In light of these
developments, suppliers and retailers must find innovative ways to approach traditional channels while adapting to new
sources of growth.
You’ll walk away from this Workshop with insights into:
•
The shopper’s path to purchase and how to stimulate sales
•
The gaps in retailers’ digital integration and where suppliers can
gain advantages
•
New opportunities for consumables makers to form partnerships
with home centers
•
How pro shoppers are evolving and what they prioritize in
multichannel shopping
