Product Design Research
We research and analyze a wide range of product planning and marketing issues. For example, IPR's product design research can: 

  • Determine the mix of product features and pricing that will maximize market potential.
  • Evaluate the likely impacts and possible responses to competitive new products.
  • Uncover the customer segments that offer the best opportunities for different products.
  • Determine which product features are "must haves" for success and which are merely "nice to haves."
Pricing Research
Most executives and product managers are aware that setting the right price for a product is critical.In practice, however, the methods by which companies go about price setting are often less than optimal. IPR provides a rigorous, quantitative, and highly defendable approach to determining the optimal price range for a company's products. Our approach to pricing research can help companies: 

  • Measure the complete "demand curve" or the likely unit sales for a product across a range of relevant prices.
  • Estimate an optimal set of prices to maximize product (or company) revenue and profit.
  • Accurately price a product "bundle" or a complete set of prices over an entire product portfolio.
  • Identify customer segments with different price sensitivities and assist companies in thinking through potential pricing strategies to increase revenue.
