Japan demandcheck pack
The Japan demand check pack (standard) is a one-off study of one category in one country on the standard source set. We read Japanese social media and e-commerce reviews in the original language and write the findings up in English. Fixed $7,500. Three to four weeks. Named SKUs, titles or extra countries are pack ④.
When brands use this
- Your board is debating Japan and the only input so far is a distributor’s pitch
- You want one category from the list, on the standard source set, before you commit
- You need one pack for an internal paper, without naming SKUs yet
What you receive
- Three to five demand hypotheses, each supported by real consumer quotes in Japanese with English translation
- How Japanese consumers describe your competitors, with praise and complaints separated
- What to verify in the next 30, 60 and 90 days
- A PDF in English, written to be circulated internally as-is
How it runs
- A 60-minute call to agree the category, competitors and questions
- We collect and read the material in Japanese, not in translation
- We write the hypotheses and attach the evidence to each one
- A 60-minute readout after delivery so nothing is left ambiguous
