Your job doesn\u2019t stop at collecting data and generating consumer insights. If you can\u2019t effectively communicate those insights to the right people, the whole process could go to waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all <\/span>approach to consumer insights<\/span><\/a> reporting. At times, you\u2019ll need to generate reports to product and engineering teams to refocus development processes. Other times, you\u2019ll need to give marketing the insights necessary to fine-tune messaging for the preferences of your target audience. And in many cases, you\u2019ll need to generate consumer insights reports for executive management to communicate market trends or activity amongst competitors. <\/span><\/p>\n

No matter which stakeholders you\u2019re talking to, you need to make sure you\u2019re providing the right reports to collaborate most effectively. If you can deliver the following 10 analytics reports quickly and accurately, you\u2019ll be well set up to work with any stakeholder in your organization. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Volume of Product Reviews per Product Over Time<\/b><\/h2>\n

Consumer insights aren\u2019t always about what people are saying. Often, it\u2019s about where they\u2019re saying it and how often. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you look at product reviews, you can break down reporting by channel and time period (week, month, quarter, etc.). Breaking product review reports down by channel (Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc.) can give you insight into where your customers are most active, which could impact marketing messaging. <\/span><\/p>\n

Filtering product review volumes by week, month, or quarter can then give you another layer of insight into how <\/span>consumer sentiment<\/span> is trending.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Product Review Volume vs. Competitors<\/b><\/h2>\n

Product review volume can be an indicator to consumers that your product is worth looking at. <\/span>Positive or negative<\/span><\/a>, high volumes of reviews show a level of social proof that gets consumers to consider purchasing your product. <\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding how your product review volume compares to the competition can give your product and marketing teams insight into where improvements can be made. Whether you need to improve customer engagement to increase reviews or make product changes to address problems, gaining competitive intelligence can help.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Average Consumer Sentiment vs. Competition Over Time<\/b><\/h2>\n

Knowing how your customers feel about your products and your brand is always important. However, you can gain more actionable insights by reporting on how customer sentiment changes over time (weekly, monthly, etc.). <\/span><\/p>\n

Take, for example, a new product launch in your organization. Being able to track consumer sentiment as it changes around the launch\u2014especially compared to competitors\u2014will let you know how to forecast revenue and create a strategy for ongoing product development. You could even track sentiment more granularity for insight into how specific marketing campaigns perform around a product. <\/span><\/p>\n

Product reviews usually come to mind first when it comes to consumer sentiment. But you can also break down the report by other channels like call center transcripts, social media, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Product Star Ratings Over Time<\/b><\/h2>\n

Overall star ratings can give you insight into how customers feel about your products. But the single, overall star rating isn\u2019t all that matters to your business. Gaining consumer insights into how marketing campaigns, product launches, or service impacts those star ratings<\/a> will help inform your next business decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just your internal activities that can impact star ratings. Analyzing competitive activity and correlating that data against your star rating will provide more actionable insight, especially for customer service and QA teams that need to understand changes in satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Product Star Ratings vs. Industry and Competition<\/b><\/h2>\n

Star ratings are one of the most important contributing factors in purchase decisions. Knowing where you stand against your industry and specific competitors in a snapshot or overtime matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

But scalability and sustainability aren\u2019t just about star ratings\u2014they\u2019re about the \u201cwhy\u201d behind the ratings. What is it that makes your product stand out in the minds of customers? If you\u2019re higher than the industry average, how can you maintain that position? And if you\u2019re lower, how can you fix that in product development? <\/span><\/p>\n

By continually running these reports, you can understand how your changes positively or negatively impact key metrics.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Key Aspects of Product by Volume and Sentiment<\/b><\/h2>\n

What aspects (or features) of your product do you want to understand more deeply? If you manufacture razors, you might want to understand skin sensitivity. For vacuum cleaners, maybe suction. Or for tissues, softness. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whichever aspects of your product you want to track, it\u2019s important to look closely at product reviews, call center transcripts, and other points of customer interaction to get the full picture. <\/span><\/p>\n

The more aspects you can highlight with positive or negative sentiments, the more insightful your reports will be. But even if you\u2019re only reporting on one characteristic, it\u2019s important to gather as many data points as possible to get the best results.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Key Aspects of Competing Products by Volume and Sentiment<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is similar to the previous report but focused on your competitors instead of your own product reviews. It\u2019s just as important to learn from others to improve your business. If they\u2019re succeeding in one area that your product struggles, you can improve development, customer service, or marketing accordingly. Anything they\u2019re doing poorly, you can capitalize on by leveraging marketing messages around those aspects of your own product.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. One-Star to Three-Star Topics<\/b><\/h2>\n

Look at all of the one-star, two-star, and three-star reviews for your products. Analyzing the topics that customers consistently discuss can give you critical insight into where your products are falling short. <\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just valuable for ongoing product development. Consider having your customer support team set up scripts for calls that come in regarding those topics. Streamlining those conversations will improve customer experience and reduce churn\u2014even if the product received lower star ratings.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Four-Star to Five-Star Topics<\/b><\/h2>\n

Just as important as lower ratings, it\u2019s important to know what\u2019s working for customers and why. <\/span><\/p>\n

If there are topics that come up consistently, your marketing team can tailor marketing messages according to the most popular features. By creating messaging that follows what you know customers already like, you\u2019ll be able to attract consumers who are similar to existing customers. <\/span><\/p>\n

10. Voice of Customer Reports for Key Topics<\/b><\/h2>\n

Depending on the questions you\u2019re trying to answer, voice of customer reports can be pulled for specific aspects of your product and plotted against consumer sentiment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Razor blades offer a good example. A common complaint for customers is that their razors aren\u2019t sharp enough. If you can report on sharpness as a voice of customer concept over time, you can see if changes to your product have made a difference in the eyes of consumers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Gaining Access to Key Consumer Insights Reports<\/b><\/h2>\n

Knowing that these reports are important is one thing\u2014actually having the tools and data necessary to run them is another. <\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional market research tools often don\u2019t provide the level of self-service necessary to run all of these reports internally. You\u2019d need <\/span>survey tools<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>focus groups<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>outside help<\/span><\/a> to get the job done. Now, you can take advantage of <\/span>advanced self-service tools<\/span><\/a> to understand customer sentiment and automate consumer insights. <\/span><\/p>\n
