Mintel and Snoop partner to transform consumer insights with real-time spending data
Collaboration with Snoop’s consumer insights platform, SpendMapper, provides
Mintel with unrivalled access to real-time spending data from over 140,000 UK
consumers.
Mintel, the experts in what consumers want and why, has today announced a new partnership with
Snoop’s consumer insights platform, SpendMapper.
The partnership gives Mintel experts unrivalled access to the real-time collective spending habits of
140,000 UK consumers. No other research company has this level of detailed data on consumer
spending in the UK.
This new mix of SpendMapper data and Mintel insights will enable Mintel analysts and consultants to provide even better, more accurate, and detailed recommendations based on:
- Enhanced competitive analysis: A better understanding of how people are actively spending with brands (such as average spending and frequency) together with Mintel consumer research (showing where the market is headed and emerging trends), will create a stronger understanding of what’s happening now, and what’s next.
- Strategic partnerships: Combining SpendMapper’s brand affinity data to show which other brands consumers are spending with, and Mintel’s knowledge of markets and consumers, will support Mintel’s client recommendations for partner links with adjacent companies.
- Customer profiles: Joining SpendMapper’s data on people’s spending on specific merchants – including by age, salary and regional demographics, with Mintel consumer research on behaviours and markets, will enhance Mintel’s expertise on market dynamics, competitor analysis, and future opportunities.
SpendMapper data is now incorporated into Mintel’s on-demand and consulting services from September 2024, covering industries like retail, financial services, travel, and leisure.
Richard Hopping, Vice President, EMEA Consumer Insights, Mintel, said: “We’re really excited about our partnership with Snoop. It will enhance our consumer experts’ ability to provide richer insights with even more advanced competitive analysis, strategic partnership recommendations and customer profiling.
“Snoop’s SpendMapper platform provides us with access to over £200 billion in real-time consumer spending and the frequency of these purchases gives our insights a powerful edge over other research companies. This data will allow us to bridge the gap between what people claim and what they actually do. By moving beyond consumer recall, we’ll able to deliver answers to the most crucial questions shaping our clients’ marketing and innovation strategies.”
Lauren Ambrose, Business Development Director at Snoop, added: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Mintel, combining our real-time transaction data with their deep consumer expertise. This partnership will give businesses a clearer view of actual consumer behaviours, not just intentions, enabling smarter, data-driven decisions. In today’s fast-evolving market, real insights into spending habits are essential for shaping more effective and precise strategies.”
