Focus Group Research
Gain insights into customer beliefs, attitudes and perceptions
Learn what motivates your customers and understand their opinions, beliefs, and attitudes towards your product, service, concept, idea or package design before it’s made available to the public. Our deep expertise in focus group research delivers insights that will help you correctly position your organisation, product or service and engage your customers.
INFORM DESIGN & MESSAGING
Focus groups can uncover your customers’ goals, attitudes, perceptions and motivations and reveal the reasons why they engage with and value your products. Through our focus group research, we can help direct the strategic vision and creative expression of your brand.
DEEPEN UNDERSTANDING
Focus groups reveal data and insights that would be less accessible without the interaction found in a group setting. Akendi’s experienced researchers skillfully cultivate engagement among participants, the outcome of which can be more clarity and a deeper understanding around major themes.
where to start
We start by talking to key stakeholders to understand your mission, vision and project objectives, set research goals, recruiting criteria, session guide and discuss other parameters for the research.
TIMING
The typical duration of Focus Group research is 2-4 weeks.
how we do it
We often conduct several focus groups, each with 8-10 members of a target audience.
Depending on your objectives, we engage participants in a discussion around major themes, moderated by one of our experts, to validate internal assumptions about your target customers, obtain clear insight into your customers’ attitude, perceptions and behaviours.
Delve deeper into understanding customers’ perceptions of your product and service value and uncover why they purchase, use and upgrade.
