As consumers get more and more savvy; brands are also becoming more customer-centric. Companies need insights to develop the best products and services for their target audience; tell and sell marketing no longer works.
Today’s consumer is empowered; empowered to find their own information, empowered to share their opinions and empowered to avoid irrelevant products.
Companies have started listening to their target audience, collecting data and gaining insights to aid in product development. And the best way for you as a consumer to share your views and opinions about product development is to take part in online surveys usually developed by researchers.

The objective of the Student Brands’ student survey is to allow students to voice their opinions and thoughts about the South African tourism industry at the same time rewarding them for their participation.
“We want to get a sense of when students go on vacation, who do they prefer going on vacation with, where they enjoy and prefer going on vacation to as well as where the students reside when going on vacation.” – Lerato Monareng; Student Brands Community Manager.
