Not sure if design thinking focus groups are right for you? If you’re putting your heart and soul into your business, but your marketing is falling flat, you may need to reconsider. No one is hearing you. What makes you different from dozens of other businesses? Have you asked your audience? Maybe it’s time you listen!
The first step in developing marketing messages that people want to listen to is hearing what they need in a focus group. You probably can imagine most focus groups involve 8-12 key players who have opinions about your business. All of these people are important to listen to, but the most important person is the one that represents your audience.
There are several ways of testing concepts and strategies, but one of the most effective ways of creating empathy with your target audience is through design thinking focus groups or Human-Centered Design. Using design thinking, you have an opportunity to get in your audiences’ head, learn their buying habits, ask questions, and seek their opinions about your business.
