Real People
Focus Ethno
Focus Ethno is Acorn’s own ethnographic research model. In this model, consumers take pictures of themselves using products and services (usage situations) to capture “Moments of Life,” which are collected in large scale to show in visual form the reality of consumers’ lives.
The collection of photos and classification of the images into categories help bring
into focus appeal points and key words essential for product concepts.
[ Benefits ]
• Collect a large amount of data on how consumers use products and services.
• Understand the background for usage (reasons, environment).
• Grasp attitudes at time of use and degree of satisfaction/changes in attitude after use.
• Uncover emotional needs at time of use.
• Identify appeal points through observation of actual usage situations.
