The challenge
Speedo asked us to help a major sports retailer grow their overall goggles category and understand why Speedo is not performing in-store and develop potential solutions.

What we did
We conducted a day’s fieldwork in stores in both Paris and Barcelona, pre-recruiting and cold-recruiting potential goggles shoppers. We used eyetracking to understand exactly what shoppers were engaging with at fixture, including POS, segmentation and branding/products, before asking them about their shop and specific brand packaging. Manual observations were also conducted to gauge real shopper behaviour.
What we found out
- Shoppers stop at the own brand competitor as it is the first brand they come to -they don't always shop the range
- Speedo is not standing out at fixture
- Shoppers shop by the product itself (display goggles) and do not look at packaging – high experiential behaviour

Actionable insights
- Improve visibility of Speedo at fixture - Use of SRP or redesign Speedo packaging
- Improved communication on pack – Functional benefits, imagery, simplify design.
- Improve fixture arrangement (to aid processing fluency)
- Optimise display goggles / communicate product benefits here
