User Validation Services
We are currently facing a market that is saturated with children’s products, one in which it is difficult to differentiate oneself from the competition.
Studies with consumers allow us to know the needs, demands and preferences of the buyer (mothers, fathers or other relatives) and of the user (the child) and help us to define differential values in the product that increase the motivation to purchase and generate the request from the child.
The act of making a purchase is a complex process and it is difficult to obtain information about users and consumers of children’s products, how the consumer uses our product, what he or she thinks of it, if they find it attractive, etc..
The validation of concepts, prototypes or products with actual users helps companies to define strategies that guarantee a competitive positioning.

Competitive advantages through user validation
Technology experts and user studies
We have an expert in user studies who selects the most appropriate qualitative and quantitative techniques for the objectives and the target, combined with the application of the latest neuromarketing techniques.
We have a ChildLab and ToyLab in which we perform studies with high-quality and detailed recordings and streaming, where we put in practice such techniques as focus groups, personal interviews, usability tests, sessions with experts, studies with “eye-tracking”, electro-thermal activity, cerebral imaging, and other bio-sensors. We also have a network of collaborators that allow us to perform ethnographic studies in real environments.
These studies are carried out with more than 10,000 Spanish families, children, young people, families and the elderly. In addition, we collaborate with more than 400 schools, Day Centres and Early Attention Centres throughout Spain.
