Path to Purchase

See what shapes the path to purchase.

Shoppers don’t follow a script. Their decisions are shaped by shifting needs, sudden triggers, and real-world distractions.

We reveal what drives them forward, what holds them back—and how to show up at the right moment to seal the deal.

From browsing to buying

Purchase decisions rarely happen in a single moment.

They’re shaped over time—through search, social, store visits, reviews, comparisons, and conversations.

At Basis, we break down the decision chain to show how shoppers shift from passive browsing to active choice, where momentum builds or stalls, and what you can do to stay top of mind—and get chosen.

The Basis approach

We don’t just map journeys. We show how and why people buy—so you can make better decisions at every stage of theirs.

Finding the moments that matter

It’s not about tracking every touchpoint. It’s about showing up where it counts.

We help you:

  • Map the decision chain – Understand how shoppers move from first trigger to final choice—and what drives each stage.
  • Spot conversion blockers – Uncover the frictions, doubts, and distractions that disrupt progress—and fix them fast.
  • Prioritize touchpoints – Focus where it counts, not just where it’s crowded.
  • Refine ecommerce + retail – Understand how people switch channels—and how to keep them moving.
  • Design to convert – Use insight to guide your content, messaging, UX, and targeting strategy.

Close the gaps in the Path to Purchase

Our approach connects behavior with business impact. We use a blend of tools to show how shoppers move, what motivates them, and what turns interest into purchase.

  • Clickstream and app data – Quantitative behavior patterns that show how shoppers move—and where they stop.
  • Digital shop-alongs – In-the-moment capture of decisions as shoppers explore online.
  • In-store observation – Real-world behaviors that expose physical touchpoints and bottlenecks.
  • Journey diaries – Rich qual insight showing what shoppers do and why across multiple days and devices.
  • AI landscaping – Always-on analysis of category dynamics, brand mentions, and emerging needs.
