PART III: What exactly is a consumer insight?
Yesterday, I talked about the difference between knowing your audience and actually understanding them.
A consumer insight is not just “people want X.”
It’s the problem, tension or emotion behind why they want it.
The kind of thing people experience, but don’t always say out loud.
So instead of asking only, “Who is our audience?”, I like to ask:
⭐ What problem are they trying to solve?
⭐ What are they experiencing before they use the product?
⭐ What do they want to feel instead?
Because “they want skincare” isn’t an insight.
“They’re tired of feeling like good skin requires a 10-step routine” gets us much closer.
And that difference can change the entire direction of the content. ⭐️
