CASE STUDY
WHEN CONSUMER RESEARCH MEETS VIRTUAL REALITY
The shopping environment matters! This is no more evident than when redesigning a retail space. The risk or cost of making the wrong business decision is significant. However, testing multiple “real world” design centers is not only time-consuming and expensive, but often infeasible.
CASE STUDY
FEATURE EVALUATION THROUGH OPTIMIZATION
It can identify the key drivers to product acceptance in your category and the trade-offs buyers make. It drives understanding of the comparative value of your products and your brand. It holds the power to unleash your untapped product potential. It points to opportunities to take market share away from your competitors. It is the Optimization Study – an umbrella for many research techniques, all in which MMR is well-versed.
CASE STUDY
THE RIGHT SIDE OF A PACKAGING MOVE
Keeping your product fresh (aka new and different) is critical within the marketplace, and many companies look to their packaging to help maintain this position. Often a packaging “tweak” here and a packaging “tweak” there seems straightforward until sales suddenly drop without warning. It is during these times the value of consumer research is validated.
