Frequently Asked!
How does futuriZm provide foresight into future trends?
FuturiZm is based on the principle of the “Diffusion of Innovation,” which suggests a small group of consumers can indicate how fast an innovation will grow in the market. Our solution identifies this set of consumers, known as “Trendsetters,” who provide a glimpse into the future to marketing and innovation teams. These are not just early adopters but are also informed, socially responsible, and digitally savvy consumers, whose mindsets are critical for building future-ready innovation pipelines and marketing plans.
Why is it important to identify trendsetters in anticipating the success of a product/service?
Identifying trendsetters is essential to understand the journey of a product/service. While early adopters are exploratory and risk-taking in nature, trendsetters are characterized by being informed, involved, individualistic, socially responsible, digitally savvy, curious, and seeking authenticity and originality. Trendsetters are category-specific. With futuriZm, we are able to identify trendsetters with reference to a specific category.
How is futuriZm different from traditional market research solutions?
FuturiZm is a strategic solution for brands seeking to stay ahead of the curve in a dynamic market. While conventional market research provides valuable insights into current consumer preferences and behaviors, enabling businesses to identify emerging patterns, futuriZm goes further. It empowers businesses to gain an invaluable glimpse into the future. By moving from a reactive to a proactive approach, businesses can gain a distinctive edge to their market understanding and future-proof their strategies.
What is the underlying mechanism behind futuriZm?
We obtain self-rated consumer data on eight key characteristics that define trendSetters. With this data, we divide the sample into five broad groups, including the trendsetters. The trendsetter Index (TSi) allows us to gain insights into various types of data such as category drivers, consumers attitude, brand equity, brand usage, and others.
Our methodology gives you freedom to start on a clean slate with consumers on a new concept/platform (concept co-creation) to ideate and fine-tune, test concepts and shortlist a resonating message that creates impact.
Is market research effective in forecasting upcoming major trends?
Market research can provide valuable insights into current consumer preferences and behaviors, enabling businesses to identify emerging patterns. With our innovative approach, futuriZm, we empower businesses to gain an invaluable glimpse into the future. By incorporating this approach, businesses can stay ahead of the curve with a distinctive edge to their market understanding.
What tangible business outcomes can we expect from using FuturiZm?
By understanding the mindset and choices of Trendsetters, marketing teams can build future-ready innovation pipelines and develop forward-looking marketing plans. Whether integrated into strategic research or into brand health tracking research studies, this approach ensures that your business can stay ahead of the curve with a distinctive edge, accelerating business agility and enhancing product innovation.
