Branding Research

Market research indicates that 5% of a company's stock value can be directly attributed to the company's brand image.

While consumer companies have for many years acknowledged how the important role that branding and branding research play, they remain somewhat neglected in b2b markets. In fact, so passionately do we believe in the value of building a strong corporate position, that we feel this is the only real way to ensure differentiation when it comes to industrial products.

Competitive Intelligence

competitive intelligence study is vital for understanding the overall competitive environment in which you operate, and for helping you to make strategic decisions.  Typical sources of a competitive intelligence market research study include:

  • Analysis of industry press/journals/databases
  • Analysis of competitor websites
  • Conducting competitor pricing research
  • Carrying out interviews with competitors, customers, suppliers, distributors, industry associations and other industry experts
  • Speaking to internal sales teams, account managers, etc
  • Analysis of government/publicly held records
Competitive Intelligence

Customer Satisfaction Research

The majority of businesses lose 45%-50% of existing customers every five years; securing new customers can be 20 times more costly than retaining your existing clients; a mere 5% reduction in customer defection rates has been known to improve profits by up to 85%...

In light of these statistics, it is crucial to understand why customers choose one supplier over another. Our customer satisfaction studies will help you do just this, and will aid you in maintaining satisfied and loyal customers.

Market Entry Research

Our market entry studies are vital for companies who are weighing up the important decision of whether to enter a new market(s).  They may be asking questions such as:

  • What size is our target market? Is it big enough for us to make a success of it?
  • Will our offering have to be adjusted to meet the target market's needs?  If so, how?
  • What are the recommended routes to market?
  • How do we get a foothold in the market? For example, should we set up a subsidiary, consider a joint-venture?
  • What are the most suitable marketing/promotion methods in the new target market?
  • How should we be pricing our offering in the new market?

Our market entry research doesn't just provide the answers; it provides practical and actionable recommmendations. To find out more, contact our Market Entry Research Team.

Pricing Strategy

How do you increase profits? Either you sell more, cut your costs or raise your prices.  And the easiest of these three?  Definitely raising prices.

Yet, most people understand that there is a link beween the price we charge and the volume we sell.  Raise your prices by too much and customers may switch to a competitor or a cheaper substitute, or simply stop buying altogether.                  

Getting the price right is such an important decision for any company and should not be left to chance.  B2B International's pricing research helps you to understand the price-value relationship through the eyes of your customers, and ultimately helps you to maximise profits.

Pricing Strategy

Product Development Research

New product development is essential to every company's existence.  Without a concerted product development effort and the introduction of new/improved products and services, growth will be stifled and profits will suffer.

Sucessful product development research looks to uncover any gaps in the market by getting to the heart of what existing and potential customers do and don't value.

It's important to remember that product development research is not simply about the product itself; to be most beneficial, it may need to assess other elements, including packaging, advertising and pricing strategy.
