tracking consumer response to a new payment technology
Challenge
When our client launched its new electronic payment technology, the ultimate success of the product was uncertain. The Strategic Counsel was asked to track consumer attitudes towards the new technology, as well as assess their acceptance and use over time.

Strategy
Qualitative consumer research made it clear that the client needed a specialized research instrument. As a result, our research team developed a quantitative program that measures annual benchmarks for the reach of the client's products and the effectiveness of its marketing efforts. The survey is flexible enough to respond to changes in the marketplace while maintaining consistency of measurement.

Results
Our customized program has chronicled a fundamental transformation of the Canadian payments marketplace. Our research has become a key reference standard that our client relies upon to enhance its positioning in a number of different areas. Most importantly, the company developed a new advertising campaign based on our findings, and may also use the research for future advertising.
