Two primary use cases for performing an in-store survey are:

Gathering feedback from customers, consumers, shoppers, and staff. An in-store survey can be used to collect feedback from various stakeholders who interact with the products or services offered by the consumer goods company. For example, an in-store survey can ask customers about their satisfaction, preferences, or suggestions; consumers about their awareness, perception, or loyalty; shoppers about their behavior, motivation, or barriers; and staff about their challenges, needs, or opinions.

Gathering data on promotions, inventory requirements and product quality. An in-store survey can be used to collect data on various aspects of the product performance and availability in the retail store. For example, an in-store survey can ask about the compliance, effectiveness, or impact of promotions; the demand, supply, or replenishment of inventory; and the condition, quality, or issues of products
