Decision Point - Market Research and Consumer Reports

Client case studies

using multiple research methods to drive market share growth

A global market leader in B2B automotive goods wanted to understand the path to purchase among consumers to improve sell through and impact retailer and channel-specific strategies.

decision point approach​

  • We launched the engagement with an in-depth review of existing category and brand research and conducted stakeholder interviews.
  • Initial quantitative research explored category perceptions, specific product usage, purchasing drivers, and brand awareness.
  • We executed multiple types of qualitative research to better understand brand usages and perceptions:
    • We shopped with consumers to understand brand attitudes and shopping behaviors. Participants also submitted post-research product tasting videos.
    • In-home interviews were completed to explore typical product usage and garner reactions to tasting a variety of brands which led to identifying pain points with the client’s current brand.
  • The final step was a comprehensive study to quantify category attitudes, usage occasions, brand performance, and shopping habits and influences.

actionable results​

  • Our research helped lead our client to redefine their approach in the category with the consumer-led development of a new, signature product.
  • Our client invited us to help lead their category strategy and planning sessions.
