Solutions Usage and Attitude

Understand user needs and their perception of your products and brand

A Usage & Attitude study (U&A) is a piece of market research that helps companies understand consumers’ usage, motivations, purchasing behaviour, and perception of categories and specific brands. A typical U&A study covers:

  • Consumption patterns for a category or brand, e.g. frequency of purchase, brands purchased, channels used, occasions for using the product.
  • Consumers’ knowledge of the category, including what brands they are aware of and which ones they would consider buying.
  • Buyers’ perception of the category and brands, including mental associations for different brands and perceived value of different products.
  • Potential opportunities, such as unmet needs, which help develop new products and refine communications that highlight appealing aspects of existing ones.
  • Consumer segmentation, such as finding clusters of consumers who have similar needs and profiling them by demographics, psychographics and other characteristics.

Understand consumers’ decision making process

You can pinpoint the consumption patterns and market trends of your product or service. Gain consumer insights into how behaviour and usage of your brand weighs up against competitors.
