Challenge

During the pandemic, women's retailer Francesca's was looking to validate a new business opportunity. Leadership wanted to introduce a tween girl’s line of clothing, but they had important questions to answer before targeting this new audience.

Solution

Francescas' leadership partnered with First Insight's team of retail experts to devise a series of tests to understand this new consumer, what branding resonated with them, and what products they wanted. These tests were completed in a fraction of the time needed for traditional feedback collection.
