Customer Choice Models

For Designing New Products, Estimating Market Shares and

Building Brand Equity

Product designers often know how to change a product to make it more appealing to customers. What they don’t always know is how many more customers will choose to buy the new product instead of a competitive product, or how much more customers will be willing to pay for a given product enhancement. Choice / Conjoint Models answer these and other questions. Dispersed Choice Mapping™ answers them better.

General Benefits

1.  Aids the design of new products by measuring the value consumers’ place on specific attribute changes in products store interiors, sales channels, etc.

eived as the most valuable by measuring changes in product choices and product preferences.

Measures the value consumers’ place on specific brands so that the value of the brand can be determined.

Multiple choice tests can therefore measure changes in brand preferences and allow marketers to evaluate the progress of efforts to build a brand’s image and reputation.

2.  Predicts market share for new products

Shows which competitive products will lose market share so that the number of consumers switching from a competitive product can be maximized and the number of consumers switching from one of our client’s other products can be minimized.

Shows which consumer groups make up the market share for the new product

Advantages of Dispersed Choice Mapping™

1. Much more detail is provided about how consumers value product attributes.

2. DCM market share estimates are more accurate.

They use more of the information provided by consumers to estimate market shares instead of assuming a convenient formula for converting product preferences into market shares as is done by all of the leading competitive techniques.  They account for the combined effects of multiple attribute changes (or variable interactions) without adding complication for the survey participants.  They avoid biasing results due to specific survey designs.

Targeted Marketing


Targeting high-volume or especially receptive consumers is one of the best ways of increasing a company's return on its marketing investment. Whether the goal is customer acquisition, retention, or cross-selling, accurate identification of receptive consumers can dramatically increase the return on marketing investments by realizing the majority of the value for a fraction of the cost.

Why Integrate Marketing with Statistical Analysis?

There is no question that any effective statistical analysis requires the analyst to have a thorough understanding of the statistical methods. But it is equally true that possessing a clear insight into buying behavior can play a major role in the predictive accuracy of marketing models. The main reason for enhancing statistical techniques with knowledge of consumer behavior is to make the statistics much more accurate.

Imagine, for example, that a car manufacturer has a list of previous customers and is trying to target likely buyers of a new family car. To support its marketing efforts, the manufacturer has bought outside vendor data concerning the types of other cars previously purchased and the age of the customers' family members. This information may be enough to make some estimate about the customer's next purchase.



However, by applying some insight into the possible buying behavior of prospects, the car maker could use the available data to derive a more actionable level of information. This improved, refined information does a better job of increasing profitability by making a better purchase prediction.

At Opti-Market Consulting, we apply modeling techniques and marketing savvy jointly to increase predictive accuracy, and this increased accuracy means more bottom-line profits for our clients.
