[edit] Habits and Uses Surveys

Habits and uses tests are directed at understanding usage situations: how, when and where the product is used. Habits and uses studies sometimes include a real or virtual pantry audit.

[edit] General Measures that are part of a Habits and Uses Test

[edit] Frequency of Product Use

  • Identify usage segments: User/non-user, frequency and amount of product use (identify heavy, medium, light, non-user segments)
  • Comfort with use of product/service (are you a product user, do you currently own…)
  • Relative use: more or less of a user than other people using the product

[edit] Situational Use

  • Primary and secondary product use situations
  • Primary use location
  • Critical issues and needs for product/service use
  • Identification of use situations (plus, identify new uses that are currently unknown to you and your company)
  • How do you use the product?
  • How have you used the product (in what ways, applications, uses, problems solved, experience)
  • Reason for not purchasing more of the product/service (current or alternative use situations)
  • How has the customer studied or learned how to use product more effectively (is there a user group, a sub-culture group?)

[edit] Experiential Use

  • Identification of brand usage experience
  • From whom did you learn to use the product? (sphere of influence)
  • Which brands have you used?
  • Which brand are you currently using?
  • Beliefs about product/service use benefits
  • Identification of stereotypical user profile

[edit] Use Satisfaction – Use Loyalty

  • Satisfaction with current use of brand/product/service
  • Loyalty of use (may be a series of items… see Product Loyalty Measures)
