What problems, needs, and motivations do people have?
Do people understand your product’s value proposition?
Which messages are most effective at explaining your product?
Can people figure out how to use your product?
Why do people stop using your product?

What do people want?
Measuring what they say
![Page 36: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

1. Survey + Social Distribution
Cheap (or free), but requires more work on your part
![Page 38: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

The super lazy version: ask #lazyweb on Twi!er
![Page 40: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1. Make a screener or survey
2. Tweet/share it out 3. Analyze
![Page 41: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Tweet a screener or survey out
![Page 42: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Tweet a screener or survey out
![Page 43: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Try the good ole’ “asking for a friend”
(except it’s you really asking)
![Page 44: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Whether you’re actually asking for a friend or not, this actually works be!er, especially if you tag a potential competitor
![Page 45: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
1. Ask a question on Quora
2. Revitalize an old relevant thread with a new comment
3. Ask people to answer an existing question
![Page 46: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Pros
• Li!le setup other than survey itself
• Piggyback off existing product’s customers and users
• Network with strangers you would have not recruited otherwise
• Advanced targeting to help you limit your audience
Cons
• Targeting limited to own follower count or others’ followers
• Meaningful conversations need to be taken offline
Social Distribution Pros and Cons
![Page 47: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
2. AdWords Easy setup, variable expenses
![Page 48: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

You Pay for Clicks, Which Is Pre!y Realistic
![Page 50: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

![Page 51: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
1. Practice your pitch 2. Limited character
count = concise messaging
3. Bad ideas = no problem
![Page 52: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Additional AdWords Gotchas
• Your keywords determine who sees what (mind your demographics)
• Use targeting area to limit your ads be!er to industries you’re focused on
• Potentially slow depending on your keyword/bidding level
• If your keyword is near $1, DON’T DO IT! Sweet spot: $0.25-0.75
• Set a daily maximum spend so your costs don’t go out of control
![Page 53: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Pros
• Pay for clicks
• Keyword tool does market sizing and competition
• Advanced targeting for segmenting demographics
Cons
• Keywords that you want could be expensive
• Keywords you think you want are non-existent and no one searches for them
• Can take long if your ads themselves are poorly wri!en

Mechanical Turk Plan: Simple
• Design a test
• Distribute a test
• Analyze the data
![Page 57: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Mechanical Turk Plan: Expanded
• Design a test
• Two designs
• Two messaging concepts
• Two branding concepts
• Distribute a test
• Write simple instructions: “Imagine you are…”
• Build a survey (within MTurk itself or TypeForm/Google Forms)
• Analyze the data
![Page 58: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Marketing Skills Time! Write a great title and description

Set costs, number of participants, time to complete, how long you want the task to be posted for
![Page 61: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Mechanical Turk Caveats
• Professional survey takers
• You can limit your demographic somewhat, but some people live off Mechanical Turk as income ($0.05 per 30-second HIT is a $6.00 hourly wage)
• Spam
• Surveys should have codes at the end to verify that they were completed by an actual person, not a robot
• Surveys should take 2-4 minutes for tasks that pay less than $0.25. Anything longer will get skipped over and your responses will come in slower.
• Interested in a longer read? See Rapid User Testing with Mechanical Turk

Mechanical Turk Pros and Cons
Pros
• Pay for only good answers
• Flexible price points based on your budget
• Potentially cheaper than paying survey tools for their “audience”
Cons
• Longer setup
• Potential spam / low quality answers to filter through

Can new customers understand and figure out how to use the product?
What are customers’ existing workflow/process and pain points?
What are pros/cons of competitive products?
How satisfied are existing customers with the product?
How does customers’ usage change over time?
![Page 66: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
1. In-App Surveys Contextual, relevant, and
dismissible
![Page 67: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Existing workflow and pain points
• Nudge your customers with in-app surveys
• Open-ended “What best describes why you logged in to use this app/service today?”
• Open-ended “What frustrated you recently about this app/service?”
• Target customers at least a#er 60 seconds have elapsed, otherwise it’s annoying
• Leave feedback forms accessible from any part of the app
![Page 69: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

Targeting - don’t make people annoyed at you
![Page 71: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
In-App Survey Pros and Cons
Pros
• Low cost
• Low effort
• Can be turned on/off as you please to measure activities over time
• Quick responses based on targeting technique
Cons
• Limits demographic to your existing users
• Can potentially annoy your users
![Page 72: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
2. Experience Sampling
Uncover user needs and behaviors
![Page 73: How to Do Better Market Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a4408c1a28ab4c538b4708/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)

A psychology technique, now also used for market research
• Measure ongoing experiences and events by asking people the same question(s) one or more times per day
• On demand via notification (in-app, or email)
• When certain conditions are met (used a feature at least 5 times in one day)
• At specific periods of time
• Recruitment requires incentive because of the commitment
• I like to do “a chance to win” incentives
• Make it large, so the chance is worth it

Recruiting Script
I wanted to extend an invitation to you to be part of the YOUR_COMPANY Customer Advisory Board. I'd like to have your on the advisory board in order to shape and influence the types of tools we build in order to help you do your job better.
The engagement on your part is pretty low. We'd love to hang out with you initially on-site to get a sense of your workflow and process. After that, we ask for just 15-30 minutes of your time, twice a month.
We'll also hold optional get-togethers among advisory members to share strategies and best practices.
Let me know what you think. I think you'd be a great fit with your experience.
Cheers,YOUR NAME
