Product Innovation Research

Optimizing your product to ensure market fit

Product innovation research is a crucial step in the development process, allowing consumers to test your product and provide valuable feedback. By identifying areas for improvement, you can refine your offering before it hits the market. Given the high costs associated with new product launches, conducting thorough product testing is essential to minimize the risk of failure and ensure consumer acceptance.

Before launching a product, it’s vital to address key questions: What do consumers think of my product? Is it aligned with their needs? How does it stack up against competitors? Would they choose to buy it? What brand image does the packaging convey, and what is the optimal price point? Product innovation research answers these questions through data from your consumers, rather than relying on assumptions or instincts. With this information, product owners can significantly reduce the risk of launch failure and ensure a strong market fit for their product.

Product Test Methodology

Product Test Methodology

Participants are recruited from our extensive Vodus Media Network, which boasts a combined reach of 17 million Malaysians. For HUT, product samples are mailed directly to participants' homes for in-depth use testing. Following the testing period, participants complete an online survey to provide their valuable feedback. For Product Concept Test, a GIF is shown to respondents to describe the new product to obtain valuable feedback.
