INNOVATE more SUCCESSFULly AND FASTER

Successful innovations strike the right chord with the target group. They solve a problem, fulfil a need and enthuse the consumer. Success exists by the grace of the consumer. 

But many sustainable innovations start with developing the product. And when the product is finished, it is uncertain if the consumers want the product and which features and (sustainable) product claims they find interesting. We can help to turn the approach around and place the consumer in the center as the main stakeholder.

In every stage of the innovation process, consumer insights can help to speed up innovation processes and minimize risk of failure. We offer the following research approaches:

• Market mapping: know where the gaps are by identifying unmet consumer needs.
• Ideation: generate as many novel ideas as possible, using the creative collective of the target market. For this we ask the help of frontrunners in sustainability.
• Idea screening: test ideas in an early stage for their potential.
• Concept testing: test concepts of products for consumer acceptance.
• Product testing: gather consumer feedback about the product and packaging.

how do we do this?

• Quantitative research
• Qualitative research
