A journey to brand clarity
This is the story of a leading US-based air conditioning manufacturer that partnered with Netscribes to reshape its strategy using a strong customer perception analysis. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry in the United States is a competitive arena, where brand growth hinges on understanding consumer behavior, dealer perceptions, and market dynamics. For a prominent US-based air conditioning manufacturer, these dynamics presented both opportunities and obstacles. While the brand was well-established, stagnation in market share and challenges with consumer and dealer alignment hindered its growth potential.
The challenge of staying ahead
Despite its reputation as a reliable player in the HVAC industry, the manufacturer faced mounting challenges. Limited consumer insights left the brand struggling to decode what drove loyalty and satisfaction among its customers. At the same time, a lack of clarity on dealer expectations weakened relationships within critical sales channels. Compounding these issues was the intense competition, with rivals carving out stronger brand imagery and differentiation.
The manufacturer recognized that in order to achieve growth, they needed to address these gaps strategically. This meant going beyond assumptions and digging deep into consumer and dealer perceptions, competitive strengths, and the triggers that influenced purchasing decisions. To guide this transformation, they turned to Netscribes for a comprehensive solution.
