In the high-stakes world of consumer branding, guesswork is expensive. Every decision—from packaging design to price point—can make or break a product launch. Yet, so many brands still rely on instinct over insight.
What if you could test your product in a realistic shopping environment—without ever setting foot in a store?
Meet Orchestra, the virtual store simulation platform on Plural by WiseThings, designed to give you a front-row seat to your customer’s real decision-making behavior.
The Problem: Brands Are Still Guessing
Most product and marketing decisions are based on surveys, spreadsheets, or stakeholder opinions. But none of those can replicate the complexity of actual shopping behavior—like how someone compares two products, what catches their eye, or which price feels just right.
This leads to:
- Misaligned product positioning
- Packaging that doesn’t convert
- Wasted ad spend
- Launches that flop
The Solution: Simulate the Shelf with Orchestra
Orchestra creates a fully interactive, digital shopping environment—a “virtual store”—that mirrors real-world shelves and shopping decisions.
Customers are invited to browse, compare, and choose between products in this simulated space, revealing how they would behave in a real store. You get rich behavioral data, without building a single fixture.
Here’s what you can test:
✅ Shopping Behavior
Track how consumers move through your category, compare products, and decide what to buy.
✅ Brand vs. Brand
Place your product right next to your top competitor and see what shoppers choose—and why.
✅ Price Sensitivity
Test different price points to identify the sweet spot between interest and conversion.
✅ Packaging & Merchandising
Explore which visuals, layouts, and designs actually influence purchase decisions.
✅ New Product Validation
Launch smarter by testing reactions to new products before hitting the market.
Why It Works
A virtual store gives you something surveys alone can’t: real behavior.
- 📊 Data you can trust — No hypothetical answers, just observed action.
- 🛍️ Pre-launch clarity — Test before the big reveal.
- 🎯 Strategy that sticks — Insights that directly shape product, pricing, and placement.
- 🚀 Faster to market — Make confident decisions, quickly.
TL;DR: Why You Should Care
If you’re still guessing what customers want, you’re already behind.
Orchestra lets you simulate shopping, test everything from price to packaging, and gather real consumer insights—without the cost of physical rollouts.
It’s not just smarter research. It’s your edge.
