To understand how UX people do user research and whether there are any associated painpoints.
We conducted 7 contextual interviews with various people working in a UX role at a product/UX agency. This illuminated many painpoints as well as areas that are not necessarily perceived as too difficult.
Customer/market learnings Recruitment of low-LSM consumers are hard to acquire at scale (efficiently) - 3/7 people Running surveys is something people often don’t do as a research technique because of the difficulty in surveying the right audience - 3/7 people The marketing/advertising segment could be the best or highest business value customer segment The accuracy of the data and verification of people is crucially important to people - 5/7 people listed Notes
Every interviewee asked about the verifiability, accuracy and identity assuredness we had about our panel. Large marketing/advertising companies are possibly the best customer segment in terms of value There are opposing views of user interviews and digital surveys Do we position as a survey or user interview recruiting product, or both? A noticeable painpoint for UXers was their ability to access/recruit the right people. Costs
