Through a tailored B2B market research project, PMG evaluated the market potential for BBT's glass bottling technology. A database of large glass bottling facilities was created with information pertaining to key decision makers at each plant, plant location, and estimated volume. With the created database and the new insight into the purchasing decision process, the study resulted in over $2 million in new business within 12 months of the project.
PMG was asked to develop a fast paced product and service innovation process that would be utilized by their newly developed corporate innovation team. PMG developed an Outcome-Driven framework growing the number of opportunities in the new product pipeline approximately 150%, while increasing the potential revenue of the new product pipeline nearly 180%.
PMG's B2B market research approach entailed reaching out to and connecting with the competitor's highest level executives to gain a deeper understanding of the company's R&D strategy than could be derived from publicly available sources. PMG's analysts, well experienced in contacting senior level managers and engaging them in conversation, were utilized to develop a thorough understanding of the client's major competitor. The competitive intelligence gained from the conversations with key executives proved to be valuable insight into the competitor's value position in the market.
Through custom market research, PMG assessed the current hermetic compressor market in juxtaposition with the company's net position on each product and service attribute. The PMG study proposed two alternative strategies to leverage the company's perceived strengths in the marketplace: to compete on reliability or efficiency. As a direct result of PMG's recommendations, the company aggressively pursued the position of a strong second supplier and, in turn, has strengthened its market positioning in the industry.
PMG conducted a market analysis of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico to determine the best opportunity for geographic expansion of medical gloves in these Latin American markets. The analysis resulted in a market attractiveness model based on five key market criteria (market sizing, projected growth, competitive environment, and current trade relations) to determine which country presented the most favorable opportunity for market entry. As a result of the project, PMG's B2B Market Research project provided the client with a target market and marketing strategy to develop their new market opportunity plans.
