UX research
Get to know your users and their problems, identify solutions, and validate them
Minimising investment risks through target audience knowledge
UX research helps you get to know your users better. Understanding your target audience is essential in three situations in particular:
- You want to learn about your users’ pain points, needs, and lived experiences—for example, to understand the reasons behind poor KPIs
- You want to develop a new product that your users really need
- You want to make sure that the solutions you’ve identified are really the right ones.
Through user research, you can reduce uncertainty about the needs and circumstances of your target audiences and ensure that your product is well received by your users.
Use Cases
UX research throughout the product development process
Target audience analysis
Goal: Understand pain points, needs, life contexts, and the reasons behind poor KPIs.
Example questions:
- How do target audiences perceive our brand?
- In what contexts do our target audiences use our product?
- What visual styles and color palettes appeal to our target audiences?
Identify solutions
Product development
Goal: To develop products that users really need.
Example questions:
- What features does my MVP need?
- How do I measure up against my competitors?
- Does my product idea fill a gap in the market?
Test and evaluate
Objective: To ensure that the solutions identified are indeed the right ones.
Example questions:
- Which solution better meets expectations?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of each solution?
- Which solution performs better (KPIs)?
Basis for decisions on product focus
The greater the value for users, the more successful the product. But how do you know what provides the greatest value?
To design your product precisely to meet the needs of your target audiences, we conduct UX research.
Through in-depth qualitative interviews, focus groups, and contextual inquiry, we identify your target audience’s key needs, motivators, and concerns, and use these insights to define the product’s value proposition, personas, scenarios, and requirements.
Advertising effectiveness analysis and quantitative surveys may also be used. We also employ UX testing, at the latest when evaluating the solutions.

What are the results of UX research?
Through UX research, you can ensure that your product is well-received by your users, solves real user problems, and works well. You’ll gain fundamental insights into how you should strategically develop and communicate your product.
By leveraging insights about your target audience gained from UX research, you can ensure that you make the right decisions—for example, regarding innovations and investments. This allows you to develop products that closely align with market needs and gain a deeper understanding of your target audience’s requirements.
UX research provides answers to your questions about your users’ requirements, needs, and problems. It also enables you to tap into new customer groups and understand their unique characteristics.
