Based on a simulated shopping experience in a virtual environment, Baskit is a service developed by Cognative.
The simulated shopping experience allows you to model:
- any store environment,
- with any product selection,
- and any shopping situation.
Seconds-based tracking allows you to monitor:
- where the consumer went,
- what the consumer saw,
- what the consumer took off the shelf,
- how the consumer examined the product chosen,
- and how the consumer purchased the selected item.
…opening up an entirely new dimension in the analysis and forecasting of consumer decisions.
Compared to other tools available today, Baskit allows you to:
- place a product on the shelf even if it is just a concept,
- examine the product in a competitive environment every time,
- study actual shopping situations,
- consider the effects of a store environment,
- conduct analysis using actual pricing,
- be present in the “mind” of the consumer as they make their decision,
- remain independent of stores,
- assess impacts on actual purchases directly,
- and ensure that actual consumer behavior provides the indicators, as opposed to recollections or explanations of actions.
