Insights & Strategy: Answering the essentials

How do I assess market potential for a new product?

Competitive analysis, user research, and market testing are great methods to determine where your product fits in. Once you find the gaps, you can build differentiated products and services that stand out to your audience.

Why is UX research critical for building successful products?

Gathering feedback from real users and applying those insights to craft a strategy helps teams quickly bring products and services to market, with a lower risk of failure and a confident roadmap for improvements over time. Related: Is User Research Worth the Cost? 

Does Blink conduct user research for existing products?

Yes! We conduct user research at every phase of the product development cycle.

What is the best time to conduct user research?

Conducting research early and often throughout the product development cycle is best; however, late-stage research can be just as valuable by helping companies anticipate market issues, inform mitigation, and prioritize short- and long-term improvements.
