Voting & Product Co-creation
Executive Summary
Letting customers choose a new product's color, flavor, or name is a strategic move that drastically minimizes the risk of failure (Product-Market Fit). The voting mechanism builds a sense of "co-ownership," leading to record-breaking loyalty rates.
Marketing Concept
Participation in the brand's decision-making process satisfies the user's need for agency. This creates an emotional bond with the product they voted for—they become a natural ambassador the moment it hits the shelves.
Target Group
- Model: B2C.
- Industries: FMCG, Design/Furniture, Media, Mobile Apps.
- Audience Profile: Loyal fans, trendsetters, and users who want a real impact on the products they use.
When to Organize
- Pre-R&D: To choose the winning concept from several prototypes.
- Portfolio Refresh: To re-engage a "dormant" customer base.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Vote Count: Scale of interest in the topic.
- Social Shares: How often users share their choice.
- Future Sales (Pre-orders): Conversion from voters to buyers.
User Journey (User Story)
- Exposure: The brand presents options (e.g., 3 label designs).
- Voting: The user casts their vote via a bot-protected Viramity panel.
- Justification: To win a prize, the user writes why they chose that option.
- Announcement: The brand implements the winning idea, rewarding the most creative "jurors."
Prizes
- Grand Prize: Becoming the face of the campaign, a lifetime supply of the product, or a limited edition signed by the winner.
- Budget: Focused on exclusivity rather than market value.
Risk Management
- Manipulation: Like farms and bots. Viramity uses advanced anti-spam filters to guarantee honest results.
