How it works: Customer Needs Assessment
Hanover Research uses both quantitative survey and qualitative research to provide data related to the Customer Needs assessment, helping you identify, address, and satisfy your customers’ needs.
Survey

Rheem Measures Homeowner and Contractor Demand for Sustainability
“We wanted to take a holistic approach to understand consumer behavior, perceptions, and what words resonate with consumers and the trade when it comes to sustainability. Hanover’s survey insights helped inform our sustainability strategy: we saw that consumers and contractors really care about sustainability and value a manufacturer that is prioritizing sustainability in their business decisions. Hanover brought out research techniques like MaxDiff to help create the best survey instrument for our needs.”
– Kathleen Payne, Research and Customer Insights Manager, Rheem
