In today’s hyper-connected world, news travels fast and consumers are constantly sharing their opinions.

Don’t let your launch be the next misstep that goes viral. Test with your customers before going to market.

Learn How We Can Help

“There are far too many examples of retailers and brands launching products that are offensive to groups of people and never should have made it to market. One of the ways we’ve used the First Insight solution is to watch the consumer comments for indicators that a product might be controversial and should be dropped.

Now, with the Risky Product Alert capability built into the platform, the work is done for us. This brings great peace of mind, especially given the fast-changing, young customers we serve.”
