Educational Grocer

Grocery stores opt-in for educational experiences, bringing value to shoppers

Trend - To battle the popularity of online shopping and food delivery, the traditional grocery store is disrupted as educational experiences are introduced into its business model. From online wine courses to nutrition-focused workshops, these activations are geared to elevate the consumer experience

Insight - The age of information and multi-sensation has made it so that Millenial consumers are in constant search for added value -- whether that be in the form of education, service or experience. Mindful maintenance of lifestyles has become a priority for city dwellers as they try to juggle the stressors that are commonly found in the urban environment. This desire for consistent improvement and proactive upkeep necessitates activations in public spaces that are visited regularly.
Workshop Question - What educational experience could you introduce within your business model?
Trend Themes
1. Grocery Store Activations - Grocery stores are adding educational experiences into their business model to battle the popularity of online shopping and bring added value to shoppers.
2. Podcast Storytelling - Brands are launching podcasts as a storytelling medium to connect with audiences and share never-before-heard stories and behind-the-scenes insights.
3. Health-focused Children's Programs - Supermarkets are launching educational programs that promote healthy eating choices for children and call attention to the importance of nutrition and active lifestyles.
Industry Implications
1. Retail Industry - Retailers can innovate by adding educational experiences and unique activations to their brick-and-mortar stores to attract and retain customers.
2. Media and Entertainment Industry - Brands can create their own podcasts as a storytelling medium to connect with audiences, share brand values, and offer behind-the-scenes insights.
