LUCKY PERSON

TO WIN A

GIFT HAMPER

Dear Member,Winter is here! Hope you are keeping warm with soups, blankets, and heaters. Did you know that you can scan all your winter purchases, not just what you buy to make your winter meals? Got a Groupon for a pair of UGG boots or an electric blanket on Kogan.com? Scan those purchases under online shopping and if you are one of those unfortunate people who battled cold and flu this season, you can scan your medications as well.

Coming soon: Scan n GO Update

Tired of punching in who shopped and shopping mission after each trip? Those screens have been removed in our latest update. All you need to do is enter your total spend for trip and hit transmit. We have also made updates to store lists and some minor fixes to the app that should make scanning faster and easier. New Scan n GO update will be available late July.

GETTING NBN IN YOUR AREA?If your scanner is connected to a landline, NBN will affect your scanning. Please email panelhelp@iriwordwide.com.au or call 1800 456 997 to let us know if you already switched to NBN and to make sure your scanning is still coming through.

Become a Super Scanner and earn an extra 500 points every four weeks!

Love Scanning? Now you can earn bonus points for scanning regularly. When you scan four weeks in a row, you will earn an additional 500 points on top of the usual 1200. That’s an extra 6000 points a year! You will now accumulate points faster so you can redeem sooner. Not sure if you are a super scanner? Keep an eye on your inbox, you will get an email notification every time your bonus points are allocated.

We’d like to thank you and your household for taking the time to help shape the future of shopping in Australia by scanning your purchases each week, completing the surveys and for your much appreciated feedback.

KEITH FROM QUEENSLAND. Keith uses the Scan n GO app to record his purchases!What is the main reason for joining our panel and what do you like best about being a member of the IRI Shopper Panel?The main reason I joined the shopper panel was to gain rewards that would benefit my family by saving money but at the same time assisting research into shopper habits.

The best thing about being a member is being able to access those rewards that suit my family but I also get a buzz from knowing my input is helping, as well as participating in competitions and surveys.How much time do you/ your household members spend scanning each week?Each week I would spend about 15-20 minutes unpacking our groceries and scanning them using Scan n GO. I find Scan n GO is very efficient for scanning anywhere, especially when out and about.What advice would you give to other members in terms of scanning, transmitting, or any other aspect of panel membership?I think this is great for providing extra scanning information which may otherwise be overlooked. I used to have a hand held scanner but find the app much more user friendly and highly recommend it. I also find the support offered by the panel team with any queries is excellent.What you enjoy doing in your free time?In my spare time I enjoy working on my muscle car, gardening, watching rugby league and going to the movies.What is the weirdest or funniest thing that you ever witnessed whilst shopping?The weirdest thing to happen to us was when my 10 year old daughter was accused of stealing free plastic avocado spoon/knives being given out by our local Woolworths. We asked her to get a few but she came back with about 5 and another shopper thought that was too many and complained to the store person. The staff member said to us it was ok, they had plenty and she was welcome.

ANNA FROM NEW SOUTH WALES. Anna uses the scanner to record her purchases.What is the main reason for joining the IRI Shopper Panel and what do you like best about being a member of the panel?I joined the IRI Shopper Panel to be able to buy gifts at Christmas time. I love watching my points grow and thinking about what I can buy for my family without

ruining our budget.How much time do you spend scanning your purchases each week?We don’t spend that much time. Small shops are only a couple of minutes.If it is a big shop it can take a little time maybe 10 minutes or more, but we all get in and scan and put away as we go.What advice would you give to other members in terms of scanning, transmitting, or any other aspect of panel membership?I keep my scanner next to the phone in the kitchen so I see it every time I come home with the groceries and can quickly scan them.What do you enjoy doing in your free time?I’m not sure I have much free time, but I do enjoy spending time with my family and friends and going out for the day to a park or just somewhere different.What is the weirdest or funniest thing that you ever witnessed whilst shopping?Probably the funniest thing that has happened to me was when I thought I had lost my daughter who was 3 at the time, and I was frantically running down the aisles in the supermarket calling her name and came back to my trolley and she was sitting in the shelves next to the cereal without a care in the world. She never even knew I was running around looking for her.

In each issue, we will feature regularly participating panelists. Panelists are contacted ahead of time for their consent. You could be next!

YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS! Our panellists love the Super Scanner bonus, this is what they have to say:

Helena P. Good stuff. Scanning is no big deal, really. Very happy to earn more points, so will continue on as before. Saving my gift cards earnings for a forthcoming special purchase for me! And maybe a little treat for the cat, who looks after the house when I earn points.

Amber L. I think this is a great incentive for people to keep scanning the items they buy every week big or small. Thank You!

Patricia R. I think the Super Scanner points are absolutely terrific! It’s great to see my weekly points add up faster than usual. I’ve always scanned weekly and it’s fantastic to have this incentive to carry on doing just that.

Janet J. It’s nice to be rewarded for doing a good job, it has become second nature to me now to scan items.
