What a study answers
A good study answers practical questions: how big the category is, who sells what at which price point, which channels move volume, and where there is room for a new brand.
Desk research only goes so far in this region. Much of the real pricing, margin and dealer behaviour sits on marketplaces and in shops, so we check both. We analyse marketplace listings, then visit retailers and dealers and talk to the people who buy and sell.
How it works
Brief
The decision the research must support, the categories and countries, and the timeline.
Desk and marketplace analysis
Brands, prices and ranges across Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop and brand sites.
Field work
Store checks and interviews with distributors, retailers and end users, in person.
Findings
A written report with a price and positioning map, recommendations and the evidence behind them.
Questions we are often asked
Can the report be shared with partners or a board?
Yes. Findings come as a written report with the evidence behind each recommendation, built to be shared.
Do you do primary research in person?
Yes. Store checks and interviews with distributors, retailers and buyers are part of our standard approach.
Which categories do you know best?
Sporting goods, lifestyle, beauty and consumer products sold online and offline.
Can research be a first step before a larger engagement?
Yes. Many clients start with a fixed-scope study. If the numbers work, it becomes an entry plan.
