Customer research is crucial for fintech startups to truly understand their target users and validate if their product or service effectively addresses key pain points. Here are some effective approaches fintech startups can take:
??????????????
? Conduct online surveys of target users asking about their financial needs, pain points, and how well the startup's offering solves those issues. Gather both quantitative and qualitative data.
? Use survey tools like Typeform, SurveyMonkey, or Google Forms to create and distribute surveys. Offer incentives to increase response rates.
? Ask specific questions to quantify market demand and validate product-market fit hypotheses. For example: "On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to recommend our app to a friend?"
?????????? ????????????
? Hold in-person or remote focus groups with 6-8 participants from your target demographic.
? Ask open-ended questions to uncover detailed insights into their financial challenges and assess product fit.
? Consider using a neutral third-party moderator and provide incentives for participation.
