Overview
How to Understand Your BrandA lot goes on in the marketplace, especially if your brand is up against tough competition.
Know what sticks
You want to understand whether or not potential customers like you. But it’s also important to understand how they feel about various aspects of your brand, like whether they see you as traditional or innovative. That way, you can position your messaging so it addresses any perceived shortcomings.
Reposition when necessary
And even if your brand is resonating with consumers right now, you want to keep an eye on the competitive landscape, adjust to changing consumer expectations, and make sure you stay number one all while moving at the speed of business today.
The way most brand research is conducted doesn’t work for businesses that want results fast; most brand studies provide piles of data and take tons of time.
Focus on critical metrics
The SurveyMonkey approach focuses on business-critical metrics that can help you spend more time making important business decisions for your brand, instead of having to distill mounds of data on your own.
We used SurveyMonkey Audience’s Brand Pulse Solution to evaluate L’Oréal’s brand and the shampoo market.

Why Women Prefer Each Brand
“There are many options for many kinds of hair
issues. For example, dry hair, oily hair, limp hair
frizzy hair etc. I like to pick one that addresses the
issue I have with my hair.”“TRESemmé has salon results without salon
prices. I started using it about 9 months ago and it made a huge
difference. My hair has never been so soft.”
“It has taken the best care of my hair and it never felt healthier
than when I used loreal. Unfortunately, it’s a little
more expensive than what I can afford...”
“I like the way it makes my hair feel,
very soft. Also, it does not have the drying
out effect of Pantene.”

Attribute Importance vs. Performance
It’s one thing for consumers to be aware of your brand—but knowing what they think about your brand category (or which brand attributes or characteristics they associate with it) is just as important. Plotting how important people feel an attribute is with the performance of a brand’s attribute allows you to see how the competition stacks up.
