1. Only a few new products can succeed each year – Ray Poynter of Vision Critical shares the results of a survey of 2,004 UK consumers about whether they had switched brands for any major CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) category in the past month. Its findings lead to the conclusion that new products fail in part because of the capacity constraints of markets and the cognitive effort required by consumers to switch brands.

The real reason even Facebook needs a user feedback tool – Neil Parker of Vision Critical discusses a new Facebook invite-only panel of 10,000 respondents. “Facebook’s move makes it obvious that the sheer volume of data that it possesses about its users…still doesn’t tell Facebook very much about why [they] do the things [they] do.”
