Future-proof your business with S+R PROsician

Despite the critical role innovation plays, the success record is dismal. A key reason is the average research respondent’s inability to envision and respond to future-oriented ideas and constructs. 

Introducing S+R PROsician Model. Inspired by the diffusion of innovation theory, developed by E.M. Rogers in 1962, our proprietary algorithm identifies four discrete segments of physicians based on their interest in innovation, openness to experimentation and commitment to staying on top of the latest developments in their field: Forward Thinker stay highly informed of medical research advances and use new therapies soon after they are convinced by the data; Go Forit are experimenters using new therapies upon learning about them and getting access to them; Wait N. See are aware of new research data but prefer to wait until the new therapies become prevalent before using them; and Nono No believe in the status quo and will not embrace something new until it is something old. 

HCP Cohort - The Insights They Can DeliverIn traditional research projects, when Dr. Forward Thinker and Dr. Go Forit, who are critical to help frame and activate the future, are treated and questioned in the same way as Dr. Wait N. See and Dr. Nono No, the odds for success are low.

To see how S+R PROsician can help change the odds and future-proof your business by future-proofing your insights contact us at communications@shapiroraj.com!

Dare to deliver with Toluna Start

Full-service consumer research was once considered the Holy Grail. However, it would often require weeks to get answers to the questions at the heart of research studies – and those answers came at a significant financial cost. 

Thereafter came the rise of the self-serve consumer insights platform, a time- and cost-effective alternative that gave research teams their answers in days or hours and at a fraction of the cost. But here’s the catch: with a strictly DIY approach, researchers are alone in the wilderness with nowhere to turn when problems arise (and they always do). Think about it: you’re on your own from survey creation to analysis. Toluna Start

The best of both worlds: A hybrid solution

The best solution is a hybrid one which brings the best of full-service and DIY together into one package – creating a unique, new solution.

Enter Toluna Start, the industry’s first end-to-end, real-time consumer insights platform. Toluna’s methodological expertise is baked into the Toluna Start platform, enabling researchers to remain agile in a fast-moving marketplace. And the DIY aspect of our solution allows teams to stay deeply immersed in their research and constantly involved with colleagues across their business.

At the same time, Toluna Start users have real-time access to experts who can guide them through questions along the way. That expert support gives them the ultimate confidence in their survey results – a quality that can be lacking in strictly DIY platforms.

Toluna Start creates a seamless, collaborative environment that provides real-time, reliable results for your organization. That enables you to confidently move forward with product development and marketing campaigns, as well as stay ahead of the competition in the constantly shifting global marketplace. And now, you can gain limitless access to Toluna Start through the industry’s first enterprise insights subscription.

Finding one idea that works across diverse audiences with S+R Guided Deliberations

Marketing’s job is to change behavior with ideas that break through and persuade. However, it’s a complex task with many influencers, each with their own biases. S+R Guided Deliberations is a unique methodology designed to reveal the biases shaping each individual’s viewpoint and how they eventually get behind one core insight that inspires a unanimous verdict. 

S+R Guided Deliberations

This unique and highly effective decision-making research methodology is grounded on the breakthrough work coming from our partnership with the University of Chicago Law School. The jury room is a microcosm of decision-making on steroids, in a very diverse group. By integrating social science principles, we deconstructed the jury deliberation process – how the human mind processes information in high-stakes situations, how each jury member collaborates with others and how they make decisions that are true to their sensibilities but in agreement with the rest of the group. We have also perfected the execution of this method in a virtual context, leveraging a powerful set of technology solutions.

S+R Guided Deliberations has been a powerful tool in helping clients identify compelling ways to frame messages, inject “nudges” into their creative and customer experience and effectively preempt objections, resulting in a positioning or messaging platform that works effectively across highly diverse constituents. 

To see how S+R Guided Deliberations can help you chart the best path forward contact us at communications@shapiroraj.com.

Traditional surveys are dead

For far too long, surveys have only provided heaps of quantitative data – leaving you with reliable findings but only half of the story. The qualitative insights that bring respondents’ feedback to life were missing. Researchers have often relied on focus groups or interviews to fill the gap but these methods require even more time and effort. It’s time to evolve.In what situations do you get fast food after 10pm?

At GroupSolver®, we provide the same features and benefits of traditional survey platforms but with a new open-ended experience. Our AI moderates an interactive process that cleans, codes and quantifies open-ended data in real time. From there, businesses can listen to those who matter most – the customers – and use their natural language to answer those burning “why,” “what” and “how” questions. Think of it as mini automated focus groups embedded within a traditional survey flow that are asynchronous and do not require a moderator. 

We’re reinventing what’s possible with online surveys – putting actionable insights and a holistic view of your audience at your fingertips. 

We work with a range of clients including small and large brands and agencies. Find out why companies like Amazon, adidas and IRI trust GroupSolver® to help make important decisions, ranging from branding, product testing and customer segmentation to pricing and much more. Whether it’s a small pulse check or a global study, we have it covered.

Foresight 50+ By AARP & NORC

A new generation of research

Foresight 50+ by AARP and NORC offers deep insight into the views and behaviors of Americans 50 and older. We work with researchers and decision makers to survey older Americans on everything from what they buy to what they think. We’re the largest high-quality survey panel on this demographic, combining the consumer expertise of AARP with the scientific rigor of NORC to amplify the voice of the fastest-growing age group in the country.A New Generation of Research - Forsight50

Why choose Foresight 50+?

Size: Foresight 50+ is the largest high-quality research panel of Americans aged 50 and over. Researchers know that insights are only as good as the quality of the data they are based on. The dramatic decrease in telephone landlines makes it harder to create truly representative, high-quality panels. But Foresight 50+ combines proven sampling methods, such as mailings and phone calls, with in-person recruitment of participants. This ensures we’re reaching all corners of the nation.

Accuracy: NORC’s scientific rigor delivers reliable, actionable insights to decision makers who can’t afford to be wrong. Much of the other research done on 50+ adults is based on skewed opt-in samples or very low response rates, which results in a distorted picture of this population.

Representation: We go the extra mile during recruiting to make sure every segment of the diverse 50-and-over population is represented on the panel. Foresight 50+ also engages its panelists online and on the phone, so that everyone has an opportunity to share their opinions regardless of whether, or how often, they go online. This intense focus on accurate representation means clients won’t miss out on the thoughts of harder-to-reach audience segments – and won’t make bad business decisions based on bad data.

Expertise: Foresight 50+ combines the consumer expertise of AARP with the trusted science of NORC to amplify the voice of this influential group of Americans. Americans 50 and older have demonstrated that they have significant buying power and political power. For instance, even though the 50-and-over population was less than 40% of the country in 2020, it was 52% of registered voters. Knowing what this group thinks is business-critical.

Foresight 50+ Omnibus

For clients who need rapid research results, Foresight 50+ Omnibus is a high-quality, cost-effective option. Omnibus clients receive survey results from 1,000 adults within two weeks of submitting questions. Omnibus is an affordable option for measuring brand awareness, tracking consumer sentiment or testing messaging or ad campaigns.

Why settle for an X-ray when you can get an MRI with S+R Relationship Monitor?

Marketing science has clearly shown that strong relationships result in strong brand resonance that leads to customer loyalty and advocacy and delivers profitable growth. 

S+R Relationship Monitor is our proprietary quantitative study that in a matter of weeks can tell you where you stand and what you can do about it. A critical difference between the X-rays that are the research industry norm in brand studies versus S+R Relationship Monitor, the MRI, is that the latter digs deeper and addresses symptoms that others do not. 

Brand Relationships and Frequency & Loyalty

There are two key ingredients at the heart of our approach: (1) The actionable structure that classifies relationship grades across a transactional to bonded spectrum; (2) the critical drivers that underpin each relationship type. These robust and dynamic data serve as the staging ground for deeper analysis.

S+R Relationship Monitor is like the Swiss Army knife of brand studies. In one fell swoop, it gives you everything you need to understand the current status of your brand’s relationship health, pinpoint the direction to improve its standing, highlight the relationships you must defend, define a roadmap to expanding opportunities with less committed customers and reveal diagnostics that can clarify patterns in other data sets.

To see how S+R Relationship Monitor can turbo-charge your brand’s relationship and illuminate new paths for growth contact us at communications@shapiroraj.com.

Fill your innovation pipeline with a Trends Prototyping Sprint 

Inputs - Process - Outcomes infographicWhen the pandemic hit, all in-person meetings ground to a halt – and that included innovation meetings. But innovation pipelines couldn’t stop just because in-person meetings did.

Our team at Ebco has designed a fast-paced, highly immersive virtual innovation process that brings the best of in-person meetings without getting everyone in one room. After months of video meetings, we know that many people have started to dread them. That’s why our Sprint is built to be highly engaging, with a well-choreographed and highly customized agenda, small-group engagement and real product materials for your team to build prototypes at home. Through three, three-hour workshop sessions, your team will come away with hundreds of new ideas for your innovation pipeline.

Before the Sprint, we conduct extensive research that uncovers trends in your industry to determine what consumers are interested in and where the industry is headed. That means that every idea generated during the Sprint has already been directly connected to the trends impacting the category, putting you one step closer to bringing new products to life. Your team then comes together virtually, where we share our research and guide your team through a series of brainstorming exercises both as a large group and in smaller breakout groups focused on prototyping and ideating together. On the final day of the Sprint, you get to experience your new ideas hands-on as each member of your team builds a prototype using the materials we send them. By the end, you have hundreds of ideas, prototypes and concepts for strategic planning, concept testing and development – and ultimately your pipeline.

During a recent Sprint, we brought together our Fortune 1000 client’s 60-person innovation team in what the client described as “the best workshop” he had ever attended. He said his team had never been so invigorated, with high retention from session to session as they eagerly developed and shared new ideas. After only three sessions, the client walked away with more than 550 ideas, 125 written concepts and 40 prototypes built by their team during the sessions. Because these ideas have already been validated by trends research, the client is quickly moving into concept development to bring these ideas to life.

Whether you’re at home due to the pandemic or your team is spread all across the globe, you don’t need to be in one room to develop the next big idea. Reach out to start your own Trends Prototyping Sprint.

Six ways to use implicit testing

Using implicit testing in market research projects creates deeper insights, uncovering the true “whys” behind consumer behavior and preferences. But there are probably more ways than you realize to get better answers using implicit testing. In our recent e-book, “Six Ways to Use Implicit Testing,” we explore unique applications using The Implicit/Explicit Test – a patent-pending market research methodology from InsightsNow.

How Does the Implicit/Explicit Test Work? Graphic

Why use The Implicit/Explicit Test?

By studying implicit and explicit reactions, researchers are able to gather the insights needed to impact future consumer behavior – either by nudging current behaviors along or disrupting behavior to drive new choices. The test assesses reactions and provides calibrated classifications for each person. This shows the exact percentage of people who are reacting a certain way, allowing a quantifiable forward path for products, projects and plans and creating realistically achievable metrics for all key stakeholders and for the supply chain.

How The Implicit/Explicit Test works

Study participants begin with a calibration exercise that both familiarizes them with how the questions work and identifies where to set a cutoff time to identify an implicit response from an explicit response. Then, priming prepares the brain to have context at the ready to allow measurement of whether the association or memory is implicit or if the brain is working to solve an incongruency. Typical priming examples include storytelling, presentation of concepts and videos.

After priming, researchers can use projection. This is typically used when the associations or reactions you want to measure occur quickly or in a context where it is not possible for the person to complete the usual reaction test. In the assessment stage, the primed question is shown and a series of words, phrases or pictures are flashed quickly. The participant simply selects the positive or negative response. The moment they make a selection, the next word appears. The implicit score is a calculated score based on the speed (fast or slow response) and the positive or negative reaction from a study participant.

Ways to apply implicit testing

So what are the ways The Implicit/Explicit Test helps researchers go deeper? We talk about six in our e-book:

  • Claims testing to achieve behavioral impact.
  • Ingredient scoring to build clean-label products.
  • Ingredient benefit associations for functional product design.
  • Message testing for media targets.
  • Emotions testing to understand product experience.
  • Concept scoring to uncover category lift

So when you need to truly understand human behavior, it is essential to build implicit testing into your next project. Find out how by getting our new e-book, “Six Ways to Use Implicit Testing.”
