Beyond Heatmaps : Eye Tracking for Market Research
The market research industry has long recognised the challenges of investigating the retail experience and many methods have been developed to address this. And whilst going beyond techniques that occur remotely from the shopping experience (such as focus groups and surveys) is clearly welcome, there remain fundamental flaws in the preferred methods of accompanied shops, store intercepts and exit interviews. In this article we discuss these weaknesses and describe how an eye tracking methodology for retail that uses cued retrospective recall overcomes these by;
