At Eye Tracker, we provide a complete shopper research solution, starting with the fielding of eye tracking shopper interviews in stores, then analyzing the dozens, or hundreds of hours of eye tracking video for each project. Our video coding process is designed to capture both eye tracking results as well as consumer behavior viewable through the video recordings. In analyzing the shopper videos, we are able to aggregate the behavior we see to discover similarities in the sample overall. The analysis incorporates attention data, behavioral data, as well as any other data sources that may be available (survey data, one-on-one interviews, receipt data, neuroscience data, and more).

Using these insights gathered from in-store ethnography, we partner with our clients on developing their retail strategy including planograms, shelf layout, in-store traffic flow, and signage. We provide heat maps based on what is drawing the attention of the customer as they shop.

At Eye Tracker, we are professional colleagues, but also friends. The best candidate will fit into the culture we have cultivated. This position is remote, so strong communication skills are necessary.
