By understanding the awareness of the survey monitor using three methods, shed light on the "profile of the consumer" which lays behind their purchasing behavior.

Three methods

Enables you to deepen your understanding of consumers on the basis of a variety of profile information such as "awareness of health/beauty care" and "values concerning consumption" using the database INTAGE has accumulated by updating awareness/value attributes once a year as a voluntary plan.

Enables you to ask three additional questions "while their memory is still fresh" at the time the target product is recorded/input; for example, what triggered/why the person bought the "new product" or "campaign product," in-store behavior at the time of purchase, whether the purchased was planned or not, brand image, etc.

Carry out a unique questionnaire survey of "real" users by extracting qualified subjects on the basis of their purchase history; and ask about the "category," "brand’s needs," "selection criteria for the product" in order to analyze "consumer structure" and "background of/reason for the purchase." It’s also possible to ask about "awareness/value" or "behavioral characteristics/reality" as a "consumer" and "shopper" and then analyze it by linking with day-to-day shopping behavior.
