Size determination and quantification of DNA

Size determination is the principal reason respondents use DNA molecular weight markers, however, nearly half of all respondents also use markers to quantify DNA. With this report, find out which customer segments use which types of markers (e.g. DNA ladders vs. DNA digests, mass standards vs. label standards). This analysis can allow suppliers to customize their product offerings to meet the needs of the overall market and of specific customer segments.

The Market for DNA Molecular Weight Markers presents segmentation analysis that allows suppliers to maximize the effectiveness of their marketing efforts-by reaching out to scientists who are like existing customers-and optimize their product offerings according to customer needs. Additionally, differences in usage and preferred suppliers across market segments can be tracked against internal sales data to monitor changes in market share.

Invitrogen is the most commonly used brand of markers

This report also shows important differences in market share across different segments. In addition, the market share evaluation provided can be used as inputs for internal size/share models for 2006 projections, sales targets, and more.

Most usage rates are expected to remain constant over the next year-but specific applications show growth potential

Knowing where the market is growing-and where it's not -allows suppliers to stay ahead of the curve. By knowing which areas are most likely to grow over the next 12 months, suppliers can ensure that production capacity can keep up with demand and also match marketing and sales efforts accordingly.

Only 23% of respondents are very satisfied with the markers from their primary supplier

Knowing which particular factors-of the brand and of the product-work for and against your company (and your competitors) is key to maintaining and growing market share. Differentiate your product and brand from your competitors, and match your marketing communications to the most important attributes. Perhaps most importantly, keep your customers happy and gain your competitors' unhappy customers.

The Kano Model: Linking Product Attributes to Customer Satisfaction

"Essential" product attributes are those that absolutely must exist in a product, but their essential nature means that they are taken for granted to an extent, so they do not contribute much to customer satisfaction. "Differentiating" product attributes, on the other hand, are those that make one product better than another-at least in the eyes of the customer. These differentiating attributes allow suppliers to compete more effectively, particularly when combined with segmentation analysis.

Know which customer segments are most loyal to your brand

Customer loyalty is incredibly valuable-it costs more to attract new customers than to retain current customers. With this report's analysis of customer loyalty, suppliers can measure the loyalty of their own customers, compare customer loyalty across suppliers, and target customers who are not loyal to their current brand.
