What we offer

User research: User-centered design of data-driven products

Understand how users think and work so you can create solutions that truly fit their needs. The key is knowing which data helps them, and how they actually use it. The result is a product that's efficient, relevant, and user-friendly. Whether it's a dashboard or an AI-powered tool, we make sure it hits the mark.

  • Develop user profiles and personas: Understand exactly how users work and what their goals are. Use that insight to design solutions that meet their requirements and needs.
  • Identify the features and data your users rely on most and put them at the center of your product development.
  • Refine your product continually: Use real user behavior to guide ongoing improvements. A continuous feedback loop helps you refine and optimize your product over time.

Consumer & user research for the optimization of websites, apps, or services

Consumer research helps you understand your target audiences—both potential and current. User research reveals how people interact with your website, app, or digital product. You’ll uncover pain points, learn user habits, and improve the user experience with purpose. The result: a smoother, more intuitive product that people actually want to use.

  • Understand patterns with quantitative methods: Use surveys, sales data, and other first-party sources to better understand your audience’s needs, preferences, behaviors, and trends.
  • Create meaningful personas: We analyze your audience data to develop detailed personas. These highlight patterns in user behavior and support more accurate assumptions about what your audiences need.
  • Identify usability problems: Uncover the frustrations users face when interacting with your product, and address them through focused improvements. Methods like semi-structured interviews, observations, heuristic evaluations (expert reviews), and usability tests provide deeper insight into user behavior.
  • Conversion optimization for website, app, or funnel: Improve usability and the overall user experience so users can reach their goals faster and with fewer obstacles.

Customer journey mapping and optimization

A comprehensive analysis of the customer journey reveals how people interact with your brand - across channels, touchpoints, and emotional moments. It helps you spot friction and highlight what’s working, so you can improve the customer experience and make it more seamless and engaging.

  • Visualize the customer journey: Visualize all customer touchpoints and interactions to better understand your customers' journey.
  • Identify pain points and moments of delight: Identify both pain points and standout moments, then prioritize them to focus your improvements where they’ll have the most impact. 
  • Define optimization steps: Define clear next steps to remove friction and enhance positive experiences, thereby noticeably improving the customer journey.

Apply the findings to optimize the customer journey from the customer's perspective and increase the long-term loyalty and satisfaction of your customers.

Research on brand perception, product positioning, and communication

To successfully position your brand and products, it is crucial to understand how your target group perceives them and whether your brand messaging resonates. It's equally important to compare your internal view of the brand with how your target audience actually experiences it. This helps uncover misalignments, refine your communication, and strengthen long-term brand loyalty.

  • Gain a deep understanding of brand perception: Determine how your target audience sees your brand or product and what associations it evokes.
  • Identify discrepancies: Recognize potential differences between your company's internal perception of the brand and how your target group perceives it, so you can respond effectively.
  • Optimize brand and product communication: Develop concrete measures to improve your brand messaging and communication channels to ensure an effective approach.
  • Strengthen brand loyalty and audience targeting: Use insights to build consistent, authentic communication that appeals to your target audience and builds lasting loyalty to your brand.

How we work and conduct research

At FELD M, we use the design thinking model to develop a deep understanding of the problem and ensure a user-centered perspective for targeted solutions. To do this, we combine qualitative and quantitative methods that illuminate different perspectives on user behavior and decision-making processes. 

We condense and visualize the results for you, for example in the form of personas and customer journey maps. These insights help you to make decisions and prioritize your next steps in solution development. If needed, we can also support you by translating these findings into strategic concepts or concrete measures for your communication or go-to-market strategy.
