SPI (Nationwide In-Store Promotion Survey)
Causal data of sales, capturing the true state of in-store sales promotions
Data on the status of in-store promotions collected by our investigators at the end of every week at the same stores as those targeted by the SRI (Nationwide Retail Store Panel Survey) (370 stores nationwide). Can be used to understand the implementation status of in-store promotions and to measure their effectiveness.
It’s possible to check the sales trend at the time an in-store promotion is launched together with the implementation ratio of promotion measures.
It’s possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the sales promotion measures, i.e. how effective they were in pushing up the sales volume.

Characteristics of the SPI (Nationwide In-Store Promotion Survey)
Integration with the SRI (Nationwide Retail Store Panel Survey)
We integrate the data from the survey stores with the data from the SRI (Nationwide Retail Store Panel Survey) and provide it by way of a data processing tool or report.
Chronological comparison
It’s possible to compare with a competitor’s products or with a previous year item by item in terms of the rate of piling-up the display, whether any flyers are posted, sales by in-store sales staff, or a video promotion.
It is possible to customize the survey details
It’s possible to customize the content of the surveys such as adding sales promotion tools (POP, videos, postcards) or a golden zone.
Outline of the SPI (Nationwide In-Store Promotion Survey)
Since our investigators input the sales promotion information by scanning the piled-up display items in the store at the end of each week using a special barcode scanner, it’s possible to find out what was sold, when, where, and how.
