Why are there separate eShopper Based Design standards (eSBD)
and shopper insights for the eCommerce channel?
The eCommerce channel is the only channel where shopping occurs in a virtual
vs. physical environment. P&G e-SBD is analogous to SBD, and reflects the unique
opportunities, challenges and redefinition of shopper expectations and sales fundamentals for
brands and retailers to win in a virtual environment. For example,
the shelf is an outcome of search, assortment is theoretically endless, shoppers frequently
walk out and abandon carts at the speed of a click. Given the unique characteristics involved,
and new skills and expertise required, e-SBD is presented
as a complement to SBD.

How should I use this information?
CBD: Use to develop external selling documents to improve your SBD implementation.
CMK: Use the human insights to create the shopper story behind business initiatives.

How does each standard affect my business?
For information on the uplift from SBD for your category,
please contact your local DRA representative.
