They have been the approach top marketers utilize to obtain crucial awareness on how consumers or recipients of a certain product or service think, feel and behave. In the digital world, focus groups are an effective platform for driving brand recognition, development and marketing success.

Ground Zero Market Positioning Research

To conduct market positioning research, our fundamental assessment is spent on the local industry background for the intended product or service. We weigh positioning assumptions against existing market studies, segmentation and demographic data, existing branding research, advertising history of the client and their known competitors, and the client’s brand name competitive structure. We develop our own assumptions relating to the strengths of comparable brands, their equity, and its acceleration potential.

As a part of our Ground Zero Market Positioning Research, we conduct extensive client meetings to include management, sales staff, marketing staff, and customer service staff. As deemed fit for a give client project, we may also conclude our Ground Zero Market Positioning Research with qualitative market research based on a smaller sample to fine-tune our assumptions regarding customers’ view of the market.

Market Positioning Qualitative Research

Consilium Advisory utilizes qualitative methodologies to develop the client’s market positioning strategy. In- depth interviews based on a small representative sample are conducted at the primary phase of qualitative market positioning studies.

Once we have established a baseline with the results of the introductory Market Positioning Research, we proceed with large sample qualitative surveys using a variety of qualitative and quantitative assessments.

Market Positioning Quantitative Survey

This is conducted to test the assumptions developed from the Positioning Qualitative Research. Such surveys relate to segmentation, demographics, and perceptions and attitudes. We employ screen positioning concepts with specific concept statements to measure positioning distance attributes, or how strongly that particular brand is differentiated from the competitors’.
