Increase market share by expanding your customer base
Most companies don’t engage in comprehensive competitor monitoring and are excessively optimistic about their market position, overestimating their market position on average by a factor of two. Focusing on deepening market share in existing sectors allows companies to leverage the wealth of latent opportunities in customer engagement and retention that may have been overlooked or are accessible with adjustments to the product or service portfolio.
The Hanover Research Market Penetration solution is customized to enable you to maximize your market share. Using primary, secondary and data analytics research techniques, we uncover customer needs, identify purchase behaviors and sales drivers, allowing you to maximize customer acquisition and minimize attrition.
