Our analytics experience is focused on the market, the intersection of supply (your product) and demand (your customers).

Customer intelligence (demand)

• Segmentation, migration: Who are your customers? Where to find new ones – quickly – given today’s fragmentation of needs and proliferation of channels?
• Retention, satisfaction: How to keep customers happy and loyal – with little additional effort and expense?
• Behavior & attitudes, wants & needs: Separating real from random – customer says ‘A’ and does ‘B’.
• Trends: Luxury buyers, Gen Y and empty nesters, urbanization, green/LOHAS – How different are customers across triad markets – and where does it really matter?
• “Soft” factors and intangibles: The example of how to sell more art. 

Product insights (supply)

• Product differentiation: What works, what doesn’t? How is your product truly being used? How to benefit from monopolistic competition – how to charge a little bit more than the competition without losing sales?
• Innovation: What works, what doesn’t – why?
• Product marketing: RoI =? How effective are your marketing mix instruments, such as cash discounts, content upgrades … ?
• How to fight sales decay – without losing your shirt? 

Market analytics (intersection of demand and supply)
