NZ MALE SHOPPER: Game-changing insights to unlock new revenue streams, supercharge product development and nail your go-to-market strategy     

1.2 million males in NZ aged 15-65 years and 4 in 10 males living in Auckland were NOT born in NZ.  

If men are in your target audience, then understanding their evolving shopping behaviour, rituals and routines is critical. Fresh Focus want to bust open the myths, assumptions and stereotypes and help brands access richer insight into who is the new Kiwi male and how their consumption and shopping habits have changed.

WHY? At Fresh Focus, we are passionate about helping businesses succeed and making sure they have affordable access to local insights delivered by professional consumer and marketing experts.

  • We wanted to break down the cost of a big research project and make it easy and painless to invest in. With the support ofPledgeme’s crowd-funding platform – this is now possible. It allows smaller brands/businesses (and even bigger ones) to purchase the value of a large-scale, commercial research project for a fraction of the total cost. 

HOW? Through the Pledgeme platform and the shared benefit of collaboration, this study will give you previously unavailable insights and information that can be applied to your business today and provide immediate, actionable results. 

Using a mix of digital ethnography and quantitative analysis, we will discover what is really going on inside the minds of Kiwi males today and understand the why. By unlocking how the NZ male shopper has evolved and what his lifestyle looks like today, you can increase relevance, gain the competitive advantage and spot new opportunities.
 
 

 OUR APPROACH

 

We will focus on 5 categories across a spread of lifestages ethnicities and ages from 18-64yrs.

  1. personal grooming

  2. grocery

  3. health/fitness

  4. clothes/shoes

  5. DIY/Hardware

  6. technology

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

 Our promise is that this project will deliver actionable insight to inspire, open doors and create opportunities.

 It is a deep-dive into the psyche and behaviours of this audience, revealing the different types of male shoppers — his values, lifestyle, expectations, and the choices he makes when it comes to shopping for himself, retailers, and brands. 

 1. Explore and understand current male consumer behaviour & motivations…rituals, habits, routines and aspirations

2. Deconstruct the evolving role of men in the household as gender stereotypes change

3. Determine how millennial males behave differently to their older counterparts

4. Explore how they shop – role of online, ideal in-store experience and what they shop for

5. Identify pain points for male shoppers and how purchase drivers differ across categories  

6. Which brands resonate and why?

7. What are their dominant media channels and preferences?

The NZ Male Shopper Digital Community up and running

Hi everyone,

Thought I would send a quick update. We have n=25 males from around NZ discussing their shopping experiences and memorable customer journeys. 

They are on The Man Cave for 10 days and include a good mix of young and older, different lifestages and ethnicities.

Other topics we are exploring are:

  • Ideal shopping/retail experience

  • Most memorable shopping experience

  • Inter-generational differences between their fathers and themselves

  • Weekend routines

  • Shopping occasions/moments

  • Media habits and engagement including social

  • Preferred brands and communications

Look forward to sharing the outputs in the coming weeks.

Cheers,
Nikki and the Fresh Focus team

Hi everyone,

Well we are now a lot closer to our pledge target.

After some negotiation and very generous support from our panel partner Pureprofile https://www.pureprofile.com/nz/ we have been able to scale back the project so that we could give this new consumer insights initiative a real chance to succeed. 

We have scaled back the digital community to n=20 males and removed the in-depth interviews. The online survey of n=500 remains the same. 

We have also added in a new package - the ad:tech Auckland package. 

Thanks again for all your support. We can't do this without your support, belief and entrepreneurial spirit to try something new.

Will keep you posted, but please share with any start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, brands or business owners you know that need affordable insights on the NZ male shopper!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Nikki, Ryf and Sarah :-)

Thank you for your support!

Hello pledgers,

Thank you so much for your support. We are on the phones today and tomorrow trying to raise support and get this over the line. 

It means a lot to us that you believe in the concept. We will continue to develop and iterate on this idea so that brands and businesses, big and small, get access to game-changing insights!

If you know a business that would find this valuable, please send and tell them how to pledge :-)

Thanks again,

Nikki, Ryf and Sarah
