    Move Over Female Shoppers, Men Want a Piece of the Action

    Most studies into shopper behavior dissect shoppers by income, ethnicity and/or geographic location, but very few focus on shopping habits of men versus women, despite the fact that there is an increasing number of men at least partly responsible for shopping, either because they work or stay at home, or are a part of two-income households where shopping responsibilities are shared.

    Most studies into shopper behavior dissect shoppers by income, ethnicity and/or geographic location, but very few focus on shopping habits of men versus women, despite the fact that there is an increasing number of men at least partly responsible for shopping, either because they work or stay at home, or are a part of two-income households where shopping responsibilities are shared.
     
    SymphonyIRI Group recently studied the increasingly important male shopper in its latest Point of View, “Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus…Or Maybe Not?” and found that while there are several attitudinal and behavioral similarities with female shopper behavior, there are several important distinct differences.
     
    “Our research shatters the stereotype of clueless men wandering around a grocery store,” says John McIndoe, senior vice president, Marketing, SymphonyIRI. “During the recent recession, men adopted money-saving strategies that point to a deliberate and well thought out grocery purchase processes that are worth noting, so that CPG marketers can connect with male shoppers more effectively.”
     
    The SymphonyIRI Point of View highlights the attitudes and behaviors that characterize the male grocery shopper. The following are just a few highlights found in the report:
     
    Male Shoppers More Likely to Resist Lifestyle Changes
     
    Difficult economic conditions have prompted consumers to become more conservative and self reliant in many ways. While fewer men are making changes versus women, the ranks of those adapting remain significant. For example:
     
    • 54% of men eat out less often
    • 44% of men make cleaning products last longer
    • 27% of men go to the doctor less often and are self treating more
    • 19% of men use at-home beauty treatments more (e.g. hair coloring, facials)
     
    Money-Saving Strategies
     
    Shoppers are stretching their CPG dollars by shopping across multiple CPG channels to make their purchases. In addition, scaling back is quite pervasive in the retail store, as consumers re-examine their priorities and allocate their limited funds accordingly. Across a range of “scaling back” behaviors, though, male shoppers are showing a lesser inclination to change versus their female counterparts. The disparity is largely explained by the fact that men demonstrate a more optimistic perspective on the economy and personal finances. A few examples include:
     
    • 35% of men shop at multiple stores to find the lowest prices
    • 35% of men purchase only needed items, rather than stocking up, to keep weekly budget in check
    • 31% of men buy more “all purpose” cleaning supplies to reduce the number of items needed
     
    Men Don’t Ask for Directions, but Do Make Lists
     
    Nearly two-thirds of male shoppers are making shopping lists before entering the grocery store. In many instances, these lists are quite detailed. Itemized lists are common for both men and women but are slightly more prevalent among males. A few surprising list-making behaviors include:
     
    • 56% of men listed categories to buy (e.g. coffee, frozen pizza, toothpaste)
    • 16% of men listed specific brands to buy
    • 12% of men listed specific private label/store brands to buy
     
    “Overall, men have adopted a wide range of money-saving rituals and shopping strategies in much greater numbers than the traditional stereotype of the male shopper would indicate,” adds McIndoe. “In fact, in many regards, men shop similarly to women. That said, as with any consumer segment, it is the knowledge of nuanced differences that separates the wheat from the chaff. CPG marketers must evaluate the rituals, attitudes and behaviors of male shoppers very closely and understand how these factors impact each aspect of the decision and purchase process for their own categories and brands.”
