METHODOLOGIES
WHY OUR METHODOLOGIES PRODUCE BETTER INSIGHTS
By becoming more behavioral in the way we look at humans we gain new insight about why products succeed—from innovation to branding to messaging. Looking at moments of consumer motivations and behaviors in relation to all phases of the business, we can help you bring more successful products to market, faster.
No part of the development process exists in a silo, so at InsightsNow we look to tie these three areas of applications together through deep dives into human behavior. We all are motivated by what we “sense” in the moment – whether it’s a product on the store shelf, a brand impression or a marketing message. We have sensory cues that signal “approach” or “avoid” through emotions such as fear, hope or desire.
What is behind all this? The human. When you look at behavior, rather than demographics and other dry data, you get to the heart of the matter faster, more effectively and then in turn have greater success in market.
PLAYFULL INSIGHTS
Unlock Prospective Thinking to Change Behavior with PlayFULL Insights®
PlayFULL Insights® (PFI), a play-based behavioral research methodology, is a powerful way to unlock the prospective thinking behind key consumer decisions. Prospective thinking is an innate way of remembering the past to anticipate and imagine future outcomes. To influence—and potentially change—consumer behavior, companies need to fully understand their customer’s mindset, and using this play-based can do just that.
IMPLICIT / EXPLICIT TEST™
Research participants, as well as most people, want to give “right” answers, especially if asked to predict their future behavior. With this challenge, how do you dig deeper and elicit honest, accurate predictors of their acceptance of products or ingredients?
Implicit/explicit testing leverages context to measure emotional and rational reactions which motivate decisions and behavior, especially acceptance versus avoidance behaviors.

Proprietary Communities & Panel Partners
We use both proprietary communities and custom panels for different types of research needs. Looking to deeply understand a particularly influential buyer segment, we developed a proprietary community of Clean Label Enthusiasts®. We interact with them weekly with a broad spectrum of lifestyle, ingredient, and product questions, and we are creating a growing database of their Clean scores for ingredients. In contrast, we have a panel of Shopper Advisors available for rapid responses to research where a general consumer base is needed.
Your Access to the Custom Community provides:
- Workspace: Contains a wealth of information into what ingredients are perceived as “clean” using an innovative behavioral metric called a “Clean Label Score.” You are able to overlay this rich scoring data with your own custom business and target audience segments
- Quarterly/Monthly Industry Reports: Tracked behaviors and underlying motives detailed in quarterly behavioral reports allow you to deeply understand the evolution and current trends.
- Custom Engagement Services: Get your custom research questions answered rapidly through exceptionally fast turn services support learning sprints and build proprietary knowledge.
