Understanding the Direct Consumer Relationship

Professional D2C Research services across India โ€” delivering actionable insights for smarter business decisions.

Definition & Overview

D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) Research is a specialised form of consumer research designed for brands that sell directly to end consumers โ€” bypassing traditional retail intermediaries. As India's D2C ecosystem has grown explosively, with thousands of brands competing for consumer attention online and through their own stores, deep consumer understanding has become a critical competitive advantage.

D2C brands face unique research challenges: understanding digital purchase journeys, building brand loyalty without a physical retail presence, optimising product-market fit across rapidly evolving consumer preferences, and competing effectively against both established FMCG giants and agile new-age competitors.

SRS Market Research helps D2C founders, brand managers, and marketing teams with the insights they need to grow โ€” from early-stage concept validation and consumer segmentation to mature-stage brand health tracking and loyalty research.

Our Approach

1

Map the Consumer Purchase Journey

Understand how consumers discover, evaluate, purchase, and re-purchase from D2C brands โ€” across digital and physical touchpoints.

2

Brand Perception & Awareness Study

Measure brand awareness, recall, associations, and Net Promoter Score (NPS) among target consumers.

3

Product Concept & Packaging Testing

Test new product concepts, formulations, and packaging designs with target consumer groups before launch โ€” reducing costly failures.

4

Pricing Sensitivity Analysis

Apply Van Westendorp or Gabor-Granger pricing models to identify the optimal price point for your product in the Indian market.

Consumer Segmentation

Develop rich, actionable consumer segments based on attitudes, behaviours, demographics, and purchase patterns.

Post-Purchase Experience Research

Measure satisfaction, identify friction in the purchase and delivery experience, and uncover drivers of repeat purchase and churn.
