Solving vexing business challenges faster and with better data.

The Situation:

• A major household manufacturer made a change to the material in one of their products about 2 years ago.  They saw declines in market share, but were unsure if it was due to pricing, distribution loss or a consumer issue associated with the changes to their material and manufacturing process.

​

The Solution:

• 4Sight extracted thousands of reviews from before and after the change, across multiple online platforms.

• Leveraging 4Sight’s proprietary methodology, a trend analysis was developed that showed a significant decline in star rating over the past few years, but particularly since the change.

• Using text analytics, 4Sight also analyzed key words in reviews from before and after the change.  Key words showed a significant decline in average star rating pre/post the change.

​

The Result:

• Impact of this learning has been in the millions of dollars in sales and profit.  Based on the analytics, the brand is making adjustments to the product & manufacturing.

We leverage consumer-generated content to gain a holistic make-up of the category. 

Determine your next steps with 4Sight’s holistic ability to access landscape.

The Situation:

• A national CPG brand wanted to understand consumer drivers of products infused with a trendy ingredient -  how those drivers relate to other positive and negative drivers and trends at category level to determine the worth of pursing the category.

​

The Solution:

• 4Sight extracted reviews and social comments across dozens products to find that products with the ingredient had higher star ratings and stronger trust and joy emotions than CPG benchmark; however, the star ratings were trending downward as the review number grew.

• By digging deeper, 4Sight was able to see what promised benefits were perceived by consumers, what delivery form has more benefits, and when scent became polarizing.

​

The Result:

• Based on this information, the client has decided to move forward with the next-step - test the products in a lab setting to determine if the claim benefits are the actual benefits.
