What is a Consumer Panel ?   

A consumer panel is a permanent, syndicated and representative sample of consumers, who provide ongoing details of the fast moving consumer goods they purchase. Using the most effective collection methodology (scanner, paper diary, internet, till receipts, telephone) each panel member records the details of every item they purchase. For each item we know what, where, when, how much and who purchased.
