    If you are new to an consumer-facing industry and want to get the lay of the land, this would be a great product for you. It could help you understand consumer wants and motivators, and would be helpful for keeping up with an industry, and for developing your own stance within that industry. If you're an agency, supporting a brand, Mintel is helpful when trying to develop brand strategies (branding, which claims are best to highlight, consumer profiling, etc).

    It is great for participant recruitment on go-pay basis. Perfect for smaller companies and UX teams. but larger companies and teams might want to look into other solutions that could be used at scale

    Cons
    Mintel
    • it would be nice if Mintel got even more specialized with some of their industry/product groups. For example, we wanted to do research on what was happening in the consumer orthodontia space, but the best we could do is get info on consumer feelings around oral healthcare products like toothpaste, mouthwash, etc.
    • If they offered a B2B version of this tool, that would be game changing.
    • Affordability. Individual reports are quite expensive, but getting an annual subscription is probably also prohibitive for smaller businesses

    We use Respondent.io as a supplementary tool on a go-pay basis. It offers us another channel to recruit participants to explore different financial topics.

    Return on Investment
    Mintel
    • Mintel industry data has been the backbone of our agency's blog, email and marketing eblasts, which helps position us as a thought-leader.
    • I can't say that Mintel stats single-handedly won some new business pitches for us, but adding Mintel stats to a pitch (especially one that we might be somewhat new to), has certainly strengthened our pitch and made us look like confident experts.
    • when we've supported a client with a new product launch, we've used Mintel to develop an actionable plan about brand positioning, which claims to highlight and how their product will fit in the competitor landscape.
