Problem

Scenario

You're supporting a consumer product team that wants to find the next set of growth opportunities for an established product. Leadership wants a clear research approach that combines market demand, customer needs, and competitive context so the team can decide where to invest.

Question

How would you conduct market research to identify growth opportunities for a product?

What This Tests

  • How you structure market research for growth decisions
  • How you use user segmentation and customer needs to find opportunity areas
  • How you size markets and compare opportunities
  • How you use competitive analysis to identify whitespace
  • How you turn research into prioritized growth bets

Representative Context

A strong answer should feel applicable to a product like Shutterfly Photo Books, where growth could come from improving the current funnel, expanding into new occasions, or serving under-penetrated customer segments.
