KNOW YOUR CONSUMER, GROW YOUR BUSINESS.

KNOW YOUR CONSUMER, GROW YOUR BUSINESS. In today s world, consumers are more in control than ever before. They can choose when, where and how they consume information and interact with media and brands. They can compare products and prices instantaneously and have new avenues to learn about, engage with and purchase products and services. Consumers have more to choose from and marketers have more ways to reach them, but fewer chances to get it right. In this increasingly fragmented consumer marketplace, how do you get a clear picture of your ideal consumer, engage them and keep them coming back?

KNOW YOUR CONSUMER At Nielsen, we pride ourselves on providing the clearest, most complete view of consumers and markets worldwide. We understand what consumers watch and buy, and the vital relationship between the two. Simply put, we provide the right intelligence, founded on the right consumer information, to help our clients make the right decisions.

What consumers watch We can tell you what and how - people are watching, with measurement and analytics across the three screens consumers use: TV, online and mobile. Our measurement techniques are constantly evolving to account for the new ways consumers are watching and interacting. On Television: Nielsen is a global leader in television audience measurement. We help television networks understand the effectiveness of their programming in 30 countries, including the United States, Australia, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico and South Korea. Online: Nielsen is a global provider of online media and market research and analytics, measuring 80% of the world s internet users.

What consumers buy We can also tell you what consumers are buying, how much, where and how often locally or globally. We track billions of sales transactions in grocery stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies and liquor stores around the world, to help our packaged goods clients gauge sales and market share. In Store: Nielsen is a global leader in retail measurement services. We collect purchasing data from stores around the globe to provide market share, competitive sales volumes, and insights into such activities as distribution, pricing, merchandising and promotion. By combining this detailed information with expert analysis, we produce valuable insights to help improve marketing and sales decisions and grow market share. At Home: We conduct household scanning panels around the world to understand purchasing dynamics at the household level. This information offers insight into shopper behaviour such as trial and repeat purchase for new products and likely substitutes, as well as customer segmentation. Our consumer panels comprise more than 250,000 household panellists across 25 countries. CONSUMERS DON T WANT MORE CHOICES. THEY WANT BETTER CHOICES.
