Description of the task:

We’d love to hear about your personal journey with non-alcoholic beverages. When recording your video, bring us along for the ride—show us your shopping process and, most importantly, share how you feel every step of the way!




Please visit one of the assigned to you retailers below:

• Hypermarkets: Kaufland, Globus, Edeka Scheck-in Center, Marktkauf
• Supermarkets: Tegut, Edeka Markt
• Small Supermarkets: E Xpress, Markant, Nah & Frisch, Nahkauf
• Discounters: Aldi, Lidl
• Please do not choose the store yourself — videos made at other retailers will not be accepted.



Before the visit:

• Ø Please read instructions before your visit and consider printing them to ensure you answer all required questions during your recording.
• Ø For the purpose of this project, please consider non-alcoholic beverages to include the following four groups of products.
• They are divided into 4 categories (A,B,С and D) with two groups products in each. Please, film two separate videos with each product which assigned to you!
• Ø Please make sure that you cover a different product group in each video.



Category D:

• Functional/Sports Drinks – drinks designed to help with hydration, energy, or recovery, often used in sports or fitness contexts. Example: Gatorade, Powerade, or electrolyte drinks.
• Energy Drinks – beverages containing stimulants like caffeine, taurine, and sugar to boost energy. Example: Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar.



Tips on Recording a Video:

• We want to see what you see. Keep your camera pointed towards the aisle - do not record a selfie video.
• We want to hear what you're thinking. Narrate your shopping process as you shop.
• Make sure you read through all of the instructions below before recording your video.
• Do not pause/ stop recording the video in between and do not even edit your video.
• We recommend that you print out the instructions and take them with you when you visit the store, so that you can accurately answer ALL the questions that are in the instructions.



During your shopping trip:

1. Before you start recording, make sure to take a shopping basket or cart. Don`t remove items from your cart while filming a video.
2. No purchase is required. You need to imagine that you came to the store to make purchases.
3. Please start recording video as you enter the store and shop for non-alcoholic beverages as you normally would. At the beginning of your video, please state the name of the retailer you are shopping in today.
• If you see any displays or signs that catch your eye and that you would normally stop at, please include them in your video.
• IMPORTANT: When you take a product from the shelf and mention that you plan to buy it today, you MUST place the product in your shopping basket, not back on the shelf.



List of questions:

IMPORTANT: You must answer the full set of questions for each of the two selected products in two separate videos.
