For decades, In-Home Usage Tests (IHUTs) have been the most true-to-life way to gather product performance feedback on a National and International scale. This methodology takes into consideration cultural and regional preferences for taste, smell, touch, etc.

Consumers have the ability to share their feedback before, during, and after usage via online surveys/journals and through video. They use the products in a natural environment whether in their home, on-the-go, or on-premise for B2B products, providing more organic results.

Our team designs and implements the research and analyzes the results to specifically address the decisions the research will inform
