ZappiStore:市场研究行业的黑马
发布日期:2014年02月26日 作者:品创
想象一下,你是一家企业的调研经理,一上班你的老板就要你做个调研,看看昨晚广告公司给到新产品概念哪个更好?时间越快越好,但最多3天,因为新产品上市的时间表总是不够用。做为一个曾经在全球前五名的乙方工作过n年的专业人员,我知道你心里一定在嘲笑老板的不懂行,同时在绞尽脑汁怎样给老板一个解释。
现在,你有了新的选择。你可以在3-6个小时内完成一份标准的概念测试研究。如果你的老板关心市场份额和品牌资产,你可以用上ConversionModel来回答他。不是盗版啊,正经TNS授权使用哦。
这就是ZappiStore的生意模式,市场研究行业的黑马。我们不知道它能跑多远,但看起来它实在和传统调研公司太不一样了,不但很黑,而且很酷。这就给我们提供了充分的关心它的理由,不是吗?
简单说,ZappiStore就是建立了一个在台平台,把几套测试类研究问卷放上去,就象你经常把上次做的测试问卷拷贝过来一样;再联结上在线panel资源,据说是SSI,这样你就可以象点菜一样选择不同背景的受访者;最后,在报告平台上你就可以看到自己“在线定制”的研究报告了。重点是,这一切,只要几个小时,只要几千美金。
够颠覆的,不是吗?反过来想一想,这些标准的测试类研究,凭什么就要客户花那么多钱,等那么长时间?如果同样是在线调研,我们除了提供的报告是手工的PPT版之外,实在和ZappiStore的服务和产品没有啥本质区别。经济学意义上的竞争力升级,就是不断消除那些臃肿而不产生价值的东西。
当然,ZappiStore也有它的问题,通常客户总是很懒的,让他自己到网上在线定制,对他来说也是很麻烦的事情;而且更关键的是,做为一个商业服务,乙方采购者往往需要一家能提供本地服务的乙方来承担一些责任和风险,例如给老板解释下等等。这点,未来ZappiStore可能可以通过和全球各地的独立研究者合作,来提供本地化服务。
感谢Richard Zong,一位在甲方乙方都工作n年现在回到乙方专注创新的调研老兵,把ZappiStore介绍给我们这些好奇的人。我们选择再次出发,做些不一样的东西,将会消除那些冗余,让市场研究变得更有效率更有趣。
其实,所谓市场研究资深人员,很容易老死在自己的经验中。尤其是在今天这样快速变化的世界中。明天,很快就会到来,我们不知道明天的太阳将会怎样,但可以肯定有些人,将再也看不见它。如果你不想这样,加入到变革者的队伍中来,思考,分享,探索,改变。
附上ZappiStore网站上的自我介绍,很动人,很性感:)
