Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Student-researchers will generate specific, actionable consumer insights for your organization through primary and secondary market research.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

Final deliverables include:

  • A 15 to 20-minute presentation outlining analysis and findings.

Project Examples

Starting this September, a team of five student-researchers will dedicate 100+ hours throughout the semester to gather and analyze data on your target market and provide actionable insights.

Example customer insights may include, but are not limited to:

  • What triggers consumer's behavior in switching to other brands or substitute categories.

  • Why consumers care about your brand and how to increase brand loyalty.

  • What desires and motivations your customers have to increase retention, etc.

  • Consumer's perceptions of competing brands or substitute category brands.
