How does the target audience know, buy and use the category?

U&A Usage & Attitude Research

Markets move faster than the annual 100-question U&A. This solution makes U&A light, frequent and cumulative — the right people, the right questions, and answers you can keep querying.

Why the old way fails

Business needs U&A more often than it can afford: the traditional study asks 100+ questions at high cost, category players pay repeatedly for near-identical questions, and sample data never integrates with big-data signals.

The path

How the chain runs

  1. 01

    Define the WHO first — whose behavior the conclusions describe — and the study's nature (open exploration vs. hypothesis validation), mapping what you know against what you don't.

  2. 02

    Configure by decision: opportunity mapping across category, audience and brand; launch-stage studies (habits, shopper journey, media touchpoints, channels); campaign need-finding; offline, e-commerce and livestream shopper research; and operations work like category trackers, drivers & barriers and churn analysis.

  3. 03

    An industry question bank keeps each wave to 52-54 questions (16 demographic, 18-20 category, plus brand modules) — light enough to run continuously.

  4. 04

    Results compound into an online database: brands query it self-serve, merge identical questions across waves and crosstab any segment — with AI search coming.

  5. 05

    TrendAI listening adds the big-data layer: monthly category trend briefs from key media and WeChat content, rolling into an annual industry report.
