Helen Thompson Store Manager Brixton
Sainsbury’s: The Future of Retail
Expert Interviews
Key learnings from a meeting with Helen and the colleagues at Sainsbury’s Brixton on Thursday the 13th of November - Responsive customer service is better than proactive customer service, always be here for your clients but do not harass them - Comment/feedback box hidden, lack of affordable - Staff gets comments from the customers verbally most of the time - Tesco and Sainsbury’s are not really different, Sainsbury’s is trying to be British and trustworthy - Promotions and discounts are the same for all the Sainsbury’s - but should be customized to the area and they should let the customers know about the upcoming promotions - Moms are putting the food in the buggies not in baskets provided by the store - No space for sitting for elderly people/other to wait in front of the checkout zone - People like the hot food place and the interaction they get with the staff works really well, sometimes the queue is really big - Usually 1 person does the shopping for 2-3 others (moms) - Store is not convenient for disabled, older or pregnant; they think about wheelchairs etc. but how do you do shopping in a wheelchair? What about blind people?

Interviews in Brixton
“I buy most things online. I come here once a week for fresh products that I want to eat on the day and the things that I forgot.”
Sainsbury’s: The Future of Retail
Customer Interviews
“It’s the third time I’ve come here this week. I quite like it, I enjoy shopping.”
“It’s a supermarket what is there to like? It’s not the most enjoyable places in the world.”
“My husband cooks and he likes to decide what we eat on the day. He comes down here everyday and looks around and then decided what to buy.”
“I only pick up what I want to eat on that day and I decide what that is when I browse the store.”

What is Convenience?
Since “convenience” was mentioned as one of the most important aspects of a shopping experience in many interviews, we did an analysis of the meaning of “convenience” and posed the question weather something can be “too convenient”.

Sainsbury’s: The Future of Retail
The Future of Retail
1.
The online and mobile revolution is positive and should be
fully embraced.

Physical stores are evolving into experiencebased destinations that will drive brand loyalty and engage customers at a
more emotional level.
4.
Technology is a catalyst that can help reinvent the store.
5.
Shop floor staff will need to become retail experts.
6.
Progressive environmental legislation will require improvements in operations and supply chain sustainability.

Future Demographics
There are currently three million people aged more than 80 years and this is projected to almost double by 2030 and reach eight million by 2050. While one-in-six of the UK population is currently aged 65 and over, by 2050 one infour will be. At the same time the number of one person households will rise. For Sainsbury’s this means that their customer base is changing and will therefore have different demands and requirements.

48% of men and 43% of women in the UK will be obese by 2030.
Sainsbury’s: The Future of Retail
Future Demographics
Future trends show, rising levels of obesity worldwide. The Independent reported that by 2030 there will be 26 million people in the UK who are obese - a rise of 73% from the current 15 million. This will add £1.9-2 billion per year in medical costs for obesity-related diseases. As one of the most important retailers in the UK, Sainsbury’s has a social responsibility to act on this and respond by educating their customers and help them make informed and healthy choices.

“Research reveals the prevalence of prediabetes has tripled in eight years.” - BBC
Sainsbury’s: The Future of Retail
Future Demographics
Rising obesity rates increase the risk of diabetes as well as allergies. By 2020 Sainsbury’s customers will have changing needs based on their medical condition. They will increasingly demand precise as well as accessible information on ingredients and nutrition values. A healthy lifestyle will become a priority for many people.

We went to Sainsbury’s Brixton to immerse ourselves in the environment that we are designing for. In order to understand the customer’s struggles and pleasures while shopping at Sainsbury’s we chose a recipe from Sainsbury’s App and went on three different journeys with the task to buy all the ingredients needed for the recipe.

Perception vs. Reality Insights gained through research with supermarket customers, show that there is a big difference in the perception of the relationship between pricing and quality of different supermarkets. While Sainsbury’s has very high quality standards and fair prices, most customers see it as more expensive than Tesco and rate it’s quality as inferior to Waitrose.

Customer Panel One The Elderly
Sainsbury’s: The Future of Retail
Customer Panel
On Thursday the 20th of November we invited two groups of people to the service design studio and held two one-hour workshops with them, in order to gain insights into their shopping habits and impressions of different supermarkets. The workshop with the elderly people consisted of a series of discussions as well as two small exercises. They were asked to a) place the logos of different supermarkets on different images and b) identify their ideal supermarket experience based on images with different emotional connotations. Most answers confirmed out insights and impressions from previous interviews and observations. Key findings were: - Sainsbury’s not seen as healthy or fresh; people don’t know about their responsible sourcing guidelines; brand message not communicated - They did not see a difference between Sainsbury’s and Tesco - Prefer human interaction and the feeling of markets and small local shops - Shopping is regarded as stressful and a task
33
Customer Panel One The Young
Sainsbury’s: The Future of Retail
Customer Panel
With the group of young people (20 - 30), we did the same exercises as with the elderly and on top of that we added a “Create your ideal supermarket” exercise, which produced some very interesting and valuable results. Key insights were: - “Shopping is boring, it should be more fun” - “proper real food rather than pre-packaged food” - “It would be great to have a chill out area for waiting” - People want to touch, smell and taste things - If you are in a hurry you should be able to go in and out real quick/ maybe pre-order items

Theresa, 32
The Stressed Young Mother Theresa is a dental assistant and mother of a 6 month old baby. Together with her husband she lives in a garden flat in Barons Court in London but they are saving up to move into a bigger house. Although Theresa shops on a budget, she cares about where her food comes from and living a healthy lifestyle. To save money, she collects coupons and regularly checks for offers. Shopping is quite stressful for Theresa as she has to take her child and a buggy with her, which means that she can’t use shopping baskets and has to place all food in the buggy.

Mike, 67 The Diabetic
Mike is a widower and lives with his dog Jimmy in Chiswick. He is retired and likes to spend his time walking his dog in the park or meeting up with his friends from the rotary club. Since he is diabetic, Mike needs to pay special attention to the ingredients of the products that he buys. He finds this quite difficult due to the small print on the packaging. When he goes to the supermarket he enjoys the experience and talking to people. Mike usually decides what he would like to eat when he is already in the supermarket.

Kate, 24
The International Student Kate moved from Korea to London to study textiles. She lives in Mile End with 2 other girls and they often cook and have dinner together. As a international who is new to the UK, Kate finds British supermarkets and the products what they offer quite unusual and confusing at times. Kate works as a part time waitress because she enjoys interacting with people and to learn the language, but this means that she has very little time to go shopping and often finds herself at home missing the essentials like milk and bread.

Idea Testing
Our second customer panel took place on Thursday the 4th of December. We used the two sessions to test our ideas and record insights and impressions that the customers shared with us.
The group of the young people and the elderly showed very different reactions to our ideas of the item reader, the online market place and the pop up shops. While the elderly were very interested in the reader and said they could see them using it in store, not only to get personalised nutrition information, but to make use of the “hands free shopping� option, the young were more interested in the pop up stores and the idea of having a store that has a fresh selection of products and offers an inspiring environment. Both groups were interested in the possibility to subscribe to your favourite basic products.

Sainsbury’s Authentics is a new retail store concept which focuses on fresh food and aims to reduce the task factor of shopping, and instead focuses on making it an immersive experience which engages all senses. The Sainsbury’s experience store focus on fresh and seasonal items. It will have fresh vegetables and fruit on display, there will a bakery for fresh bread, meat counter with experienced butchers, experts working in fish cheese and hot food section. Everything around the customers will invite them to touch it, smell it and find out more about it. If they are exhausted or waiting for someone, they can go to the resting area.

Final Concept
Everywhere in the store, there will be scanners on the shelves which allow people to scan items and receive personalized information about the product. Here people will have the option to just pick it up and buy it in-store, have it delivered to your home, or added to your subscription. This reduces the task factor of the shopping experience and leaves only the part people enjoy which is looking and being inspired, touching, trying and choosing.

On the product screen, they will get information about the product as well as personal recommendations of items that goes with it. They also have the option to get personalized nutrition information, or read reviews of other customers. After the customer has made their choice, they will select the quantity and decide if they want to pick it up at the customer desk, have it delivered to their home within the next two hours so that they can have a hands free shopping experience, or added to their subscription.
