Refining your product offering is essential to optimally respond to the diverse preferences of consumers. With our assortiment and segmentation research you gain valuable insights into the needs and motivations of your target group. By using advanced techniques such as segmentation analysis or External Preference Mapping, we create a clear picture of your market and offer concrete recommendations for product development and optimization.

The process behind segmentation research 

Our methodology involves collecting detailed consumer preferences via hedonic scaling and product descriptions from our panel. By applying analytical models such as unfolding techniques, we map individual preferences and cluster consumers with similar preferences into segments. This enables you to make strategic decisions about optimizing existing products or introducing new variants that perfectly suit your target group.

By combining descriptive research and consumer data, we translate insights into concrete recommendations. From identifying areas for improvement to creating innovative concepts: our approach provides directly applicable insights that help you increase your market share.
