Perception Equals Reality:
A Case Study on Price Point and Institutional Reputation
–––––

Last year, the Spark451 team partnered with Feedback to conduct a case study of a private college in New York City. We evaluated the college’s reputation, its competitiveness in the market, and its comparative price point to both peer and aspirational competitors to determine if they could afford a cost increase. Check out our recent webinar for our findings.

Feedback specializes in developing contextual voice-of-the-consumer research through digital channels for mid-size and large global brands. They help marketing professionals deeply understand their customers in ways that tools and automated technologies simply cannot. Using their unique HumanFilter system to conduct ethnographic research into very specific audiences, their hand-trained data scientists (from fields such as psychology, sociology, and anthropology) observe behaviors, identify preferences and channels, and analyze findings. They then provide clients with action plans based on this research, which frequently lead to higher levels of brand awareness, increased customer engagement, and greater sales.
