Uncovering Customer Preferences and Willingness to Pay with a Conjoint Survey

Determining an Optimal Offer Structure for an Accounting Tool

Challenge

A team at a consulting firm wanted to help their client determine an optimal offer structure for its tax and accounting tool based on customer segment preferences and willingness to pay.

It was important to cast light on the pain points in tax solutions and the preferred feature add-ons of three distinct customer segments.

The GLG Approach

GLG connected the client team with a buyer of tax and accounting tools to discuss the features they find most valuable and to identify the top buyer segments.

After that interview, GLG worked with the client to design and run a conjoint analysis to develop customer segmentation recommendations, rank feature preferences, analyze willingness to pay, and assess customer value. The conjoint survey was fielded to 200 buyers of tax and accounting solutions.

Outcome

The client team gained insight into barriers to purchase and pain points by customer segment. They calculated the optimal premiums to charge for tool features and a range of acceptable price points using the conjoint analysis. The team used this data to provide their client with three offer structure recommendations.
