Clarity Research offers a wide range of research services from study design and execution through analysis and reporting. Product design
research is a particular area of expertise. Several services are described below. If you don't see what you are looking for, contact us. If we
don't do it, we'll put you in contact with someone who does.
Product Development Research
We conduct product clinics for durable goods such as motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, utility vehicles, automobiles,
lawn and garden tractors and household appliances. We do this throughout the United States and other countries as well. Studies focus on
various aspects of product design research including concept evaluation, consumer design preferences, strengths, weaknesses, image,
pricing and volume assessment. Data are collected via respondent-administered, hand-held computers. Product clinics are ideal places to
conduct new product design research.
Pricing Research
We conduct pricing studies using full profile and choice-based conjoint research designs to address a wide range of price related questions.
We can design output to allow "what-if" price scenario simulations, profit maximization strategies, options bundling strategies, price
sensitivity curves and more. We are also experienced with other pricing research strategies such as the Van Westendorp PSM, brand-price
tradeoff (BPTO) and rotated monadic designs. Much of our product design research includes a pricing component.
Brand Research
What is our brand awareness and image? What personality characteristics does our brand maintain? How does our brand fit with potential
product line extensions? These are research issues we regularly deal with.
Event-Based Research
Event-based research is an effective way to identify and interview people with high-involvement in your product category. Auto shows,
motorcycle events, races, car cruises, and home & garden shows all provide wonderful venues for finding high-involvement consumers who
are more than willing to participate in brief product design research exercises. We are expert at on-site intercept screening and
interviewing strategies.
Stimuli Development
Most product development research requires far more than a simple written questionnaire to execute. We have extensive experience
generating materials to describe new and existing concepts to respondents including...
-- iPads for data collection in product clinics and event surveys
-- description booklets incorporating text, photos and drawings
-- custom digitized videos
-- descriptive poster boards
-- competitive products, including cars, motorcycles, ATVs, PWCs and more.
