Futureproof your business with financial services market research

Financial services are particularly exposed to external factors as consumer behaviors within the industry are sensitive to what is happening in the world. These shifts in behaviors or even emerging speculation can quickly hit the industry. Additionally, the industry is facing an accelerated rate of change due to technology. Industry incumbents face competition not only from new entrants in FinTech, but also from major players in other industries branching into financial services—namely big tech companies that consumers are already familiar with and trust. Financial institutions must fight to stay relevant. 

Through financial services market research, you will more deeply understand your target audience and how to best serve them, whether it is through expansion into new markets, development of new products and services, or other innovations. Financial services market research can take many forms—it offers insights around market opportunity, brand, customers, and products and services while answering key business questions, such as:

How to meet customer needs

  • What are the needs and pain points of our target audiences?
  • What products, features, and services do our customers truly value?
  • What does the customer journey and experience look like with our organization?

How the brand is perceived

  • Are decision-makers aware of our brand, products, and services? How do we benchmark against our competitors?
  • How do we differentiate our products and services through our positioning?
  • How is our brand reputation trending over time?
  • How do we effectively communicate our unique selling proposition through a marketing campaign?

How to capture more revenue

  • What features and innovations would encourage increased use of our tools and services? 
  • How do we increase customer acquisition and retention?
  • What demographics are underserved, and how can we better cater to them?
  • How can we tap into new markets? What opportunities and blockers are there?

How to hire and retain the right talent

  • What types of people and skills do we need to be successful as a company now and in the future? What are our talent gaps and needs versus what is available in the market?
  • How is our company perceived by prospective employees?
  • What is the main driver of turnover in the industry?
  • How does our company culture and work environment compare to other workplaces?

What industry trends and shifts to expect

  • How can we incorporate ESG into our strategies and practices?
  • What new technologies are emerging and how will they change the way our industry does business? 
  • How can we apply tech such as blockchain and AI/ML to our own organization? What opportunities should we invest in?
  • What new payment channels or types, such as cryptocurrency, should we accommodate?
  • What changes can we anticipate in data privacy and transparency expectations?
  • How are certain signals of economic well-being trending?
  • What opportunities do workforce shifts, such as the growth of gig work, present to the industry?

How NewtonX delivers business-critical financial services market research data

Data is modern currency, but too often, we’re limited to recycled or flawed sources. Data plays a pivotal role in carving out a competitive advantage, but so much of the data typically collected isn’t actually useful. 30-40% of data sold today is thrown away, and upwards of 50% of research timelines are spent questioning the validity of samples and parsing out the truth from the noise.

With NewtonX custom recruiting and multi-step verification, you’ll spend less time as an arbiter of truth and more time using high-quality data from verified professionals to solve key business questions. We’re the only B2B financial services research company that’s developed proprietary market research technology that keeps up with the pace of innovation.
