Helping companies operate more efficiently with data

ACTIONS BASED ON FACTS, NOT GUESSES

Responsible people begin work on any project with an analysis of the situation and make decisions based on facts, not guesswork. There is always an intuitive idea of the situation, but an accurate program requires the collection of additional information. Investing in analytics helps you to act with confidence and not waste significantly more money.

For convenience, all services in this area are grouped into three conditional groups:

• Marketing research,
• web analytics,
• sales and assortment.

RECOGNITION

It is difficult to acquire something that you do not know about yet.

Business goal: selection of advertising tactics, marketing and PR assessment.
Tools: questionnaire. Top of Mind, Spontaneous Knowledge, Induced Knowledge, Knowledge / Conversion Matrix
Example: Company X has invested most of its advertising budget in reach campaigns aimed at increasing brand awareness. As a result of a survey of the target audience, it was revealed that brand knowledge is at the level of market leaders, and conversion (the ability to turn knowledge into purchases) is much lower. The resulting decision to change the communication messages helped to rectify the situation.

IMAGE

How does the market perceive your brand?

Business goal: to strengthen positioning, create a strong brand
Tools: perception maps
Example: actual product characteristics (price, reliability, style, etc.) and the perception of these characteristics by the audience may differ. Image analysis helps to build a holistic picture, find points of strengthening the brand image and its positioning in the market.

ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET AUDIENCE

Who is the target audience? What segments are there in the customer base?

Business goal: effective use of the marketing budget. Finding new audiences
Tools: Affinity Index, Cluster Analysis, Social Media Analysis
Example: The likelihood of a purchase greatly depends on the characteristics of the audience. Out of 100 male programmers 25-29 years old, three will buy your products, and out of 100 male marketers 30-34 years old, only one. Which audience requires three times less effort to attract? Well, you get the idea ...

Another example. The analysis of search queries helped to identify a small segment of the audience, whose needs differ significantly from those of typical buyers. Before buying, they went to the site for the queries "... for big people", "... for men weighing 110 kg." The main buying driver for them is reliability, not design (as for the rest). Advertising campaigns with customized messages targeting the new segment were particularly effective.

PURCHASE DRIVERS and BARRIERS

What features of the product are used to buy it?

Business goal: product improvement, marketing communication content selection
