Under30CEO. To Connect With Consumers, Ditch The Focus Groups. Try Acting Instead. Some months ago, I wrote an article here where I claimed that market research data is overrated, especially when it comes to innovative products and services.
An innovation is new and original, so by definition, it departs from users’ experiences and behavior. Consequently, it is hard to establish quantitatively how to market it. Unfortunately, I didn’t offer up any viable alternative methods to surveys and focus groups. So how do you manage product development and brand and marketing decisions without relying on numbers? I believe one of the most powerful methods for synching up your brand with the zeitgeist, or people’s unrealized wants and needs, is by tapping into good old-fashioned empathy.
