InsightX: Case Study

Real-world applications of targeted survey campaigns

“Ask first. Launch smarter.”

Introduction

InsightsX helps brands, agencies, and product teams make smarter, data-driven decisions by uncovering what customers really think.

Through tailored surveys and clear analysis, we reveal audience preferences, behaviors, and expectations — empowering you to refine products, choose the right channels, and craft strategies that resonate and drive growth.


🛒 Walmart Case Study

Walmart may be growing fast, but how do shoppers really feel about it compared to Amazon? Before jumping in, it’s worth understanding where the platform stands in the minds of everyday buyers.

Why we asked: We wanted to understand how shoppers choose between Walmart and Amazon, and what makes Walmart stand out. The results revealed key drivers behind Walmart purchases and helped shape marketplace positioning to match shopper behavior.

What we asked:

  • Do you compare prices or products between the two before buying?
  • Do you already have Walmart+ or plan to subscribe?
  • Does seeing the Pro Seller badge make you more likely to buy?
  • Which kinds of products do you prefer to get from Walmart?
  • Are there items you only buy from Walmart? Why?
  • What do you enjoy most about shopping online with Walmart?
  • How do you see the differences between Walmart and Amazon?

A few examples of the Results:

Finding %

Value easy returns and fast shipping 30%
Buy groceries or pet supplies specifically from Walmart 22%
Use Walmart+; others stick with Amazon Prime or none 18%
Only trust the Pro Seller badge 8%

Note: More complex surveys don’t always generate graphs — sellers often review each answer individually.

🛒 Agency Case Study

As digital trends shift, brands and agencies are prioritizing user-generated content to build trust and drive performance — well before investing in full-scale influencer campaigns.

We set out to understand what drives trust and buying behavior, from the role of authentic content to how everyday creators help brands build loyalty.

Why we asked: Insights helped shape our UGC framework, prioritizing authentic content creation that resonates with buyers and drives conversion.

What we asked:

  • Would they create content (authentic photos/videos) for brands in exchange for rewards?
  • What triggers them to purchase when watching a product video on YouTube?
  • Do they look for real photos or videos before buying a product on Amazon?
  • How often do they purchase items discovered on social media?
  • Can they usually tell if content is real or AI-generated?
  • Do testimonials and real-life experiences in ads increase their likelihood to buy?
  • Are they loyal to brands that consistently share UGC and real customer stories?
  • Have they created content for a brand, or are they open to doing so?

A few examples of the Results:

Finding %
Trust real-use videos more than traditional ads 91%
Believe relatable content builds more trust than polished visuals 86%
Look for authentic buyer photos before making a purchase 80%
UGC influences their purchase behavior 74%

Note: While data trends help, motivations behind content creation often require qualitative review.

🛒 Beta Testing Product Case Study

To evaluate the product’s performance and ease of use, we conducted beta testing with a select group of users in diverse environments. The goal was to collect actionable feedback on setup behavior, usability challenges, and environment-related issues — helping us refine the product for a seamless launch.

To make sure everything runs smoothly, we had beta testers try the product in real-life settings. Their feedback helped us improve setup, fix bugs, and clarify instructions.

Why we asked: The results guided updates to sensitivity features and setup support, making the product easier and safer to use.

What we asked:

  • Did you run into any issues during setup?
  • Did you watch the setup video? How did it affect your experience?
  • Did you read the manual before or after using the product? Was it helpful?
  • Did the fence signal cut out or become inconsistent? If so, how often and under what conditions?
  • How did your surroundings (trees, walls, weather, indoor setup) affect the system?
  • How was your experience using the training mode?
  • Overall, how was your experience — good or bad?
  • Did you notice any issues or have ideas for improvement?

A few examples of the Results:

Finding %
Said the setup instructions were clear and helpful 83%
Found the video guides useful 67%
Experienced signal issues (improved after relocating transmitter) 60%
Found the settings too strong, even at the lowest level 40%

💉 Market Analysis — Syringes (MyMed)

To guide our product listing strategy, we gathered data on what buyers look for in a syringe product — visuals, packaging, keywords, pricing, and more. These insights helped us shape a listing that meets both shopper expectations and market demand.

Because medical product listings rely heavily on trust and clarity, we needed to assess how well the imagery supports accurate perception and buyer confidence.

Why we asked: The insights helped us validate key listing elements, refine visual direction, and optimize for both shopper expectations and search behavior before going live.

What we asked:

  • Which product image and packaging color they preferred?
  • How much they’d be willing to pay?
  • What keywords they use when searching for syringes?
  • How competitive they feel the Amazon syringe market is?

A few examples of the Results:

Finding %
Image clearly showed the product 76%
Felt product size was accurately represented 70%
Photo built trust in the product’s safety and packaging 60%
Preferred seeing transparent packaging 50%
Suggested using a better context or usage photo 24%

🥣 Mixing Bowl Market Analysis

To refine our Amazon listing for a new mixing bowl, we surveyed 100+ respondents across different age groups and genders. The goal was to understand buyer psychology through visual, functional, and market-based preferences — and to optimize how the product is pitched on eCommerce platforms.

Why we asked: These insights guided our pricing model, product imagery, and messaging to better match audience expectations.

What we asked:

  • Evaluation of product design: visual appeal and form.
  • Prioritization of functional features (e.g., lid, grip, storage).
  • Feedback on product limitations (e.g., cleaning, durability).
  • Overall purchase intent based on current design.

A few examples of the Results:

Finding %
Rated the market as moderately competitive 46%
Chose “in-use” images as most relevant 44%
Buy similar products on Amazon regularly 43%
Said they’d pay up to $30 29%

Note: For physical products, subtle functional details often outweigh aesthetic factors.

🏋 Barbell Pad

Many shoppers can’t grasp a product’s purpose from a single image. So, we surveyed 50+ buyers to test photo options and guide a strategy that clearly shows the Barbell Pad’s use and value. The feedback helped refine the main image and ensure it clearly communicates the product’s use.

Why we asked: To ensure shoppers immediately understand the product’s purpose and feel confident enough to explore or purchase.

What we asked:

  • Identify the most appealing image from a product photo set.
  • Assess clarity of product usage from the photo.
  • Provide rationale behind the image preference.
  • Highlight issues with less-preferred visuals.

A few examples of the Results:

Finding %
Said it showed the product well 82%
Chose Photo #2 as their preferred image 74%
Felt it was exactly what they were looking for 68%
Rejected images due to no visible product use 62%
Found some images unclear or confusing 56%
Said it made them want to click 50%
Identified at least one image issue 47%

From Insight to Impact…

These surveys gave us more than just numbers — they gave us clarity. By hearing directly from shoppers, we learned what actually matters to them, what confuses them, and what makes them click “buy.” That feedback shaped better listings and stronger product-market fit.

  • Ask first. Launch smarter.
  • Let your customers shape what comes next.
