Reading Shopper Paths in Bangkok Hypermarkets
How entry arcs, chilled zones, and end-cap timing shape where a display earns attention.
In Bangkok hypermarkets, the first sixty seconds after entry decide whether a temporary display becomes a landmark or furniture. Shoppers often cut diagonally toward chilled and personal-care zones, skipping the promotional island if it sits too close to the trolley return.
We map these paths with timed observation rather than assumptions. A display that works in a suburban big-box layout can fail in a denser inner-city format where aisles are narrower and baskets replace trolleys.
Practical takeaway: place hero units where the path naturally slows—near category decision points, not at the loudest square metre of floor space.
