Target group & behavior

By visualizing your target group, various personas, and their journey, we can uncover what motivates your audiences, which barriers they face, and what conscious and unconscious behavior patterns characterize them.

Conducting research into your target group and its behavior yields actionable insights that allow you to better align your communication and offering with the audience— even when it comes to specific segments.

This leads, for example, to more effective campaigns, sharper positioning, and products or services that perfectly match the needs and motivations of the target group. In this way, you can more effectively respond to behavior changes. Below, discover different types of research that fall under this category.

What Markteffect can do for you

Consumer needs research
Is there interest in your (new) product or service? Needs research is valuable for testing a new product or service you’re planning to introduce to the market.

Public opinion surveys
A survey among citizens may cover broad themes such as wishes and needs, or more specific topics, such as the arrival of wind turbines, sustainability, etc.

Customer journey research
What does the (current) customer journey look like? In a customer journey study, we map out the path a prospect or consumer takes to become (or remain) a customer.

Customer value proposition (CVP)
A CVP defines the unique value your organization promises to deliver to customers. It shows how a product or service addresses specific needs and expectations.

Target group research
Who is your target group, and what drives them? Target group research is essential when bringing a new service or product to market.

Study choice research
We help most of the universities, college and education organizations in the Netherlands in a wider scope of research, one of them being insights in the choice of study under potential students.

Usage & attitude research
This type of study provides insight into orientation, purchasing, and use of a product (or category) within a selected target group.
