Solution
Real insights into the viability of a brand new sales channel.
Using quantitative value proposition testing, we were able test and validate the products, value propositions, audience and channels most relevant to this brand's specific products.
With real customers.
(Which meant no more relying on slow-moving market research or anecdotes from distributors.)
With data in hand, it was easy for our manufacturer to see that DTC was a more-than-viable sales channel to add into the mix. They were able to create a GTM strategy that laser-focused on their best customers, with products, messaging, prices and digital channels—that would drive significant sales.
