Our Offerings

Effective market research equips companies with data-driven insights that guide product development, marketing strategy, and growth initiatives.  It ensures alignment with consumer demand and market needs, and reduces risks in decision-making.

Scale NZ offers quantitative and qualitative insights solutions for all stages of the product lifecycle.  In addition to proven research designs such as those below, we also create fully bespoke solutions for oddly-shaped business problems.

​As your product and market evolves, be ready with the right insights:

Scale NZ defines 6 stages in the Product Life Cycle (PLC). At each stage, necessary market insight will evolve.  At the 1st stage (Planning), the company is engaged in Discovery. Here objectivity, demand forecasting, comprehensiveness, company culture fit and stakeholder buy-in are important. 2nd stage (Development): understanding user needs, user-driven R&D, rapid R&D iterations, optimal feature-to-price ratio, pricing, COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) and proximity to market. 3rd stage (Introduction): raising brand awareness, brand uniqueness, early user feedback, media reach and campaign adjustment. 4th stage (Growth):  scalable capacity, competitor insight, manageable distribution, audience insight, segmented messaging and quantifying media ROI. 5th stage (Maturity): reducing COGS, marginal innovation, managing loyalty/churn and brand trust. 6th stage (Decline): consider whether to pivot, downsize or exit.  Finding adjacent opportunities, agile plant, and strong brand equity.
