 Use the Consumer research interactive learning object to deepen

  There are six steps in the consumer research process. Pick a product or

  or service, your question(s) and the research process to lay the
  foundation.  Walk through each of the six steps as it relates to your
  product or service, providing your analysis of each and what you would do
  specifically at each step and why. Which step was the most informative and
  why? Which step was the least informative and why?  Did the process
  help address your question (s)? Integrate and apply the concepts from the
  learning in your response.

 
  Examples:  

  • Why was the Snuggy so successful and is
      there still a market for it?

 

  • Do consumers prefer McDonalds or Burger
      King?
  • Should we expand globally?
