MaxDiff Analysis - Product Prioritization

Understanding what types of tradeoffs customers are willing to make helps you build better products. MaxDiff analysis (sometimes called Best-Worst Scaling) enables customers to prioritize product features, messages, benefits or claims. MaxDiff analysis leverages our innate ability to identify the best and worst from a list and provides a rank-ordered list of preferences.

MaxDiff analysis is particularly useful when you want to:

• Understand the priorities that customers have for product development
• See the most impactful messages and claims about a product that resonate with the audience
• Identify clusters of your market that have similar preferences and priorities

Easily Capture Customer Preferences

MaxDiff makes it simple for customers to identify their preferences – allowing you to see what features offer the most value.

Preferences by Segment

Understand your customer segments with just a few clicks. You can visualize customer preferences by segment allowing you to design better, more tailored products.
