Consumer and retail

Not having the right information about customer needs is like shooting blindly at a running target. It is crucial to understand the customers and their behavior, therefore we pay particular attention to a wide range of tailor made surveys that reveal the right data and help our clients in the decision making process. 

We inquire and identify:

  • Awareness and usage of brand: What is the brand´s position in a competitive environment?
  • Image: How is the brand perceived in the market? How are your competitors performing in comparison?  
  • Target group: What is the potential of individual target groups? How do their needs differ?
  • Communication: How to appeal to a consumer target group? Does a customer understand what you are saying about your product?
  • Loyalty: What affects customer loyalty? How can it be efficiently strengthened? How are you doing in comparison with other players in the market?
  • Satisfaction: What is a key factor in customer satisfaction? What should be communicated? What are the priority issues that need to be addressed?
  • Reputation: What is the reputation of your brand?
  • Market potential: Does a new product have a chance to succeed in the market? What are the other market opportunities? Does the product offer meet the customer needs?
  • Communications concept testing: Do you need to test advertising materials or concepts? Does your advertising appeal to the intended target group? Do customers understand the meaning of your claim? Does it motivate them to use your services?
  • Price testing: What price is acceptable for your customers?
  • Product testing: Do product parameters meet customer needs? How to optimize a product or service before it is launched into the market?
  • Employee satisfaction:  What is the climate within your company? To what extent are your employees satisfied and motivated? How to strengthen the employees’ relationship with you as their employer?

We concentrate on products and brands in the consumer goods sector, on retail chains; we make inquires with consumer target groups and the general population as well.
