In Home Use Test Does your new product meet the expectations of the consumer? < Back to all solutions Contact Does your product add anything to the existing offer? Does the consumer understand how the new product should be used or prepared? Would consumers want to use your product more often? Does the product meet the expectations set in the product concept in a prior stage? These are all important questions when introducing a product to market as they are based on real usage. DVJ’s in-Home Use Test (iHUT) is a validated way to test your new product among real consumers, before the product is put into production. The unique thing about the iHut is that consumers can use a new product in their own environment, combined with our unique approach for concept testing. An iHUT provides certainty just before product introduction. Our approach After we have selected enough consumers with a pre-screener, the new product is sent to the consumer. Dependant on the product, respondents will evaluate the product on different moments of usage. The iHUT is holistic and consists of different implicit and explicit research techniques. We use different techniques and tasks that are carried out at home to understand how people use the product or service and evaluate it. We gather rich qualitative feedback with our projective storytelling technique and free associations which help understand the product experience. We validate the potential of the new product by using the academically validated Acceptor/Rejector model, giving insight in the extent to which consumers accept the new product. This is comparable to different phases of testing innovations. We give consumers the possibility to upload photos or videos to bring the product experience to life. Linked to stories, it provides unique feedback. We offer a worry-free process by taking on the distribution of the products ourselves. We can use our own research community to select consumers. Our deliverables In the development and optimisation of new products, consumer feedback is of great importance. This means that an In Home Use Test should be carried out in a fast and efficient way. Reporting focused on evaluating usage and insights used for optimising the product and positioning. Access to our Insights Portal where next to all quantitative data, all stories, photos and free associations can be analysed. The most important results are summarised in a compact PowerPoint presentation where we determine the market potential of the concept and identify possible optimisations using the FUA-method . Our Senior Consultants add value in the presentation in the interpretation and discussion with important internal and external stakeholders. Completion of the study within 10 business days after fieldwork has ended. Your benefits Testing of a new product in a realistic environment with real consumers. Rich qualitative feedback used to bring the product to life. Quantitative validation to determine whether the product will be successful in its current state and how communication should be deployed. No more worries about the logistic process due to DVJ’s distribution model. Concrete recommendations which help implement optimisations.

Market Sizing What is the best go to market strategy for arguments, RTB’s, communication, packaging and pricing < Back to all solutions Contact Innovation initiatives drive business growth but demand careful allocation of often limited resources, particularly in areas like research and development. Organizations prioritize initiatives based on well-founded business cases that weigh expected revenues against costs to estimate profit potential. However, accurate market sizing, a critical component, can be challenging, especially when innovations create new dynamics in market structure and consumer demand. Key Challenges in Market Sizing for Innovation: Market sizing for innovations typically faces three main challenges: Data Limitations : Many innovations rely on specific prerequisites without existing data. For instance, a new indoor-climate generator may need market data on households with particular space requirements, creating a gap that complicates accurate sizing. Blurry Market Boundaries : Innovations often cross traditional category lines or create new ones, making clear market definitions difficult. A product that blends snacking and gut health, for instance, requires analysis of a new hybrid market and definition by consumer need. Market Dynamism : Market sizes often change as innovations enter the field, so market sizing must be forward-looking. What constitutes a market before launch may evolve rapidly after product entry. DVJ’s Custom Approach to Market Sizing: At DVJ, we understand the complexity and uniqueness of market sizing for innovation. Avoiding standard, one-size-fits-all approaches, we offer tailored strategies based on a comprehensive understanding of each innovation’s market potential. Our approach includes the following steps: In-Depth Scoping : We start with a thorough review of the planned innovation to ensure every relevant detail is captured, forming a strong foundation for the study. Secondary Research and Stakeholder Insights : We conduct extensive secondary research and interviews to collect existing data and generate “proxy data” as an anchor for further study, calibrating and refining the market size estimation. Representative Sample Design : We create a detailed sample framework to accurately reflect market composition, ensuring significant consumer segments are well-represented through techniques like boost samples or controlled sample exhaustion. Pre-Tested Questionnaire Development : To capture relevant data effectively, we design and pre-test questionnaires with techniques that allow respondents to answer reliably, using methods such as look-up tasks and proxy questions. Advanced Data Modelling : Finally, we apply advanced modelling methods, including multi-weighting, triangulation, and scenario simulations to provide robust and actionable market size estimates. Our Distinctive Strengths in Market Sizing for Innovation Our market sizing approach combines three essential capabilities that make DVJ Insights a reliable partner for innovation-led businesses: Expertise in Market Sizing : Our deep experience in market sizing and innovation ensures reliable project leadership and dependable results. Technical and Methodological Proficiency : From advanced primary research to complex data modelling, our team has the skills needed for accurate, reliable outcomes. Strategic Synergy and Insight : Beyond market sizing, we identify additional research opportunities that enhance the broader innovation process. We recognize that market definitions can expand with innovation, helping clients maximize resource efficiency and market impact. DVJ’s approach provides critical insights for informed innovation planning, ensuring your initiatives are supported by precise, actionable market data to optimize success in new or evolving markets.

These are all important questions which relate to finding the right combination of resources to realise growth. Marketing Mix Modelling at DVJ is more than just a statistic analysis. Naturally, it’s based on advanced statistics to estimate the impact of different marketing tactics on revenue, and therefore predict the impact of future tactics.

Our approach DVJ’s Marketing Mix Modelling project consists of different steps which together lead to recommendations on the distribution and deployment of resources. The project is based on academically validated principles, ensuring high predictability. The study is suitable for optimising the advertising mix and promotion tactics related to revenue or profit. In addition to the allocation of resources, the total investment must be added. Distribution of resources is only relevant when efforts show returns. An Marketing Mix Modelling project consists of a couple of steps which are carried out simultaneously, including the evaluation of all historic data and relations, the development of a predictive model and the development of a planning tool for future campaigns. Our deliverables An Marketing Mix Modelling project is of great strategic value and will, next to a lot of new insights, provide practical tools that can be used to plan better. Review of historical data by using multiple complex statistics translated to practical insights. Determining the optimal mix of all resources. We can delve deeper into every channel.

Order The Growth Decision by Lucas Hulsebos, a practical book on leadership, strategy and sustainable brand growth based on 10 years of research. Book: The Growth Decision To understand sustainable brand growth better, Lucas Hulsebos - author of the book The Growth Decision, Leadership, strategy and the architecture of sustainable brand growth and CEO at DVJ Insights - takes an integrated perspective. The Growth Decision brings together ten years of Brand Growth research, academic learning and practical leadership experience. Order in the Netherlands Order internationally Order in the Netherlands Order internationally Where the Growth Decision starts Marketing science has already figured out how brands grow. Decades of academic research have consistently shown what drives sustainable growth: increasing penetration, building mental availability, investing in brand over time, and aligning organisations around demand creation. The principles are not new. They are not unclear. And they are not the problem. Yet most organisations still struggle to grow. Not because they lack knowledge. Not because they lack data. Not because they lack tools. Not because they lack talent. The reason is simple: They are not organised for growth. Short-term pressure dominates decision-making. Metrics fragment attention. Strategies become disconnected. And the systems that should enable growth quietly work against it. As a result, organisations optimise performance but undermine growth. They become better at managing the present, while weakening their future. This is where The Growth Decision starts. The Strategic Growth Gap The book introduces the Strategic Growth Gap: the structural difference between organisations that build demand over time and those that optimise results quarter by quarter. It explains why brands facing the same market conditions can show completely different growth paths and why that difference is not driven by market forces, but by leadership choices, organisational design, and the way decisions are made under pressure. In The Growth Decision, Leadership, strategy and the architecture of sustainable brand growth , Lucas Hulsebos brings together more than ten years of Brand Growth research, combining academic insight with real-world application. The book is built on one of the largest global research programmes among marketing professionals, incorporating the perspectives of over 20,000 marketers across industries and markets. Rather than offering another framework or set of best practices, the book reframes growth as a system. It challenges widely held assumptions around innovation, Moments of Truth, promotions, creative effectiveness, brand building, and data-driven decision making. It shows that none of these marketing activities work in isolation. Growth emerges from how these elements are connected, prioritised, and consistently applied over time. Order in the Netherlands Order internationally Why should you read it? The Growth Decision, Leadership, strategy and the architecture of sustainable brand growth is for Executives, Marketing leaders, Brand strategists, Insight leaders, and Commercial leaders responsible for growth decisions. It provides leaders with a clear, evidence-based perspective on how to close that gap. It helps organisations move beyond fragmented activity and towards a coherent growth system — one where strategy, execution, and organisation reinforce each other. Over the past 10 years, DVJ Insights has achieved consistent year-on-year growth, entirely organically, without investor support or external financial backing. About the author Lucas Hulsebos is the owner and CEO of DVJ Insights, with over 30 years of experience in marketing and market research. Through the Brand Growth Platform and collaborations with leading organisations and academic partners, he has been at the forefront of translating marketing science into practical growth decisions. ‘Growth is not an outcome. It is a leadership choice. It is a strategic perspective on how growth is built and protected under pressure.’ Podcast: The Hidden Leadership Decisions That Make Brands Grow or Stagnate In this podcast, Lucas Hulsebos, CEO of DVJ Insights, dives deeper into the core ideas behind his book. Based on insights from over 20,000 marketing professionals worldwide, he explains why sustainable brand growth is the result of deliberate, structural choices, not chance. Building on the central frameworks from The Growth Decision, such as the growth paradox and the strategic growth cap, Lucas shows how organisations can either unlock or limit their own growth. He highlights the importance of clear KPIs, demand-driven metrics, strong leadership, and a purpose-led culture, as well as the growing role of AI in decision-making. This episode is a must-listen for CEOs, marketing leaders, and entrepreneurs looking to overcome growth stagnation.

Media Planning Simulator How can you optimise your media strategy? < Back to all solutions Contact How can you best allocate your media budget throughout the year? What is the best strategy to be “always on”? When am I spending too much on media? And when am I not spending enough? Am I doing enough to break through the clutter? How can I use the strength of my creation in media planning? These are important questions when aiming to increase the ROI of your media efforts. Optimising media efforts is complex because there are a lot of different channels and there isn’t one KPI which can be used to measure all activities. For that reason, DVJ’s Media Planning Simulator calculates a new KPI which connects all media efforts. It takes the strength of each medium type into account, how memory and the strength of a creation work. With this simulator we can determine how many efforts are needed per week to achieve optimum effect. Our approach DVJ’s Media Planning Simulator is based on an academically validated process to help complete and optimise your media strategy. The study is based on academically validated principles, ensuring high predictability. We start with an analysis of historic data through following three concrete steps: 1) calculating a new KPI which takes into account all efforts of your brand where the media plan will be used as a basis, 2) connecting this new KPI to different sources such as: sales, tracking KPI’s and other sources, 3) determining the optimal amount of efforts and contacts per week. The output isn’t just an analysis, but also an actionable tool which can be used to analyse each media plan. Due to the unique link with our pre-testing methodology, the strength of the creation can also be used in the calculation of each media plan. Our deliverables The media planning simulator is a practical instrument that can be used directly for the calculation of each media plan. Review of historical data by using multiple complex statistics translated to practical insights. An actionable tool where each media plan can be uploaded and calculated. Possibilities to easily finetune a plan and therefore work towards the best strategy for each plan. The possibility to allocate your media budget in the best way throughout the year, and thereby create a successful “always on” strategy. Our Senior Consultants add value to the workshop in the interpretation and discussion with important internal and external stakeholders. Your benefits from Media Planning Simulator Maximum efficiency from each media investment with the planning tool. We look at all media, not just the individual operation of one channel. Analysis of historical data with a direct link to sales or behaviour, translated to an easy-to-use planning tool. Always a maximum ROI of all efforts. Possibilities to incorporate all types of communication; not just Paid, but also Owned and Earned.

Intro Monitor How successful is the introduction of your new product? < Back to all solutions Contact What are the odds your product survives its first year? Does the product stand out enough on the shelves? How many consumers want to try your new product? And does this lead to enough repeat purchases? These are all important questions to determine whether a new product is a winner among consumers, and if the supporting marketing activities can bring attention to the product. DVJ’s Intro Monitor provides concrete answers to these questions through a validated research model where, during the introduction period, developments in the entire funnel are shown, and can pinpoint which elements of the product should be prominent to ensure the introduction is a success. Our approach DVJ’s Intro Monitor follows the developments of awareness closely, consideration and purchase behaviour of the new product. Next to that, it provides insight into the main drivers and barriers in the purchase process. We make a distinction between the mental position of the brand and the physical circumstances that determine whether a product will or will not be bought. We analyse different levels of the brand funnel which consists of awareness, consideration, trial and re-purchase. By looking at underlying ratios, we can determine where the most optimisations can be made. We gather free associations with the product to look at the extent to which the richness and direction of the associations in relation to the product increase. During the introduction period we measure on a weekly basis to follow developments closely. Our deliverables To get insight into the development of the new product quickly during the introduction period, it’s important to carry out the intro monitor in a fast and efficient way. Weekly scorecards where the trends of the most important KPIs can be followed. Access to our Insights Portal where next to all quantitative data, all open answers and free associations can be analysed. The collected data will be summarised in a compact PowerPoint presentation where we evaluate the entire introduction period. Our Senior Consultants add value to the presentation in the interpretation and discussion with important internal and external stakeholders. Your benefits Early insight into the awareness, consideration and buying intention of the new product. Weekly measurements allow for specific adjustments during the introduction period and thus increase the chance of success. Qualitative feedback gives meaning to the main drivers and barriers to purchasing a new product.
