Eye-Tracking Market Research Studies
Many consumer behaviours are subconscious and thus can’t be articulated, and asking why a customer didn’t see something has understandable limitations. That’s where eye tracking comes in to help you see through the eyes of the people you want to reach.
Eye tracking involves the use of specialist technology to monitor and analyse a person’s eye movements and gaze patterns. This close, careful examination enables us to observe natural behaviours and then ask consumers to reflect on their actions retrospectively.
Where can eye tracking add value?
Eye tracking is used across many disciplines (including psychology, neuroscience, education research, and medical research), but in our research context, it provides a powerful lens into everyday consumer attention and making decisions. At DJS Research we utilise the latest developments in eye-tracking technology, including lightweight, non-intrusive eye-tracking glasses, screen reader bars and webcams, to enable the organisations we collaborate with to really see things from their customer’s perspective.
Eye tracking can play an important role in qualitative together with quantitative research and can add a layer of deep consumer insight to help businesses make informed, customer-centric decisions.
Applications of eye-tracking methodologies include:
Understanding the shopping experience: When customers enter an environment, they have preconceived ideas about where to go, where to look, and how to navigate. By understanding these implicit behaviours, you can make their experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Packaging research: Eye tracking provides unbiased answers on what elements of your packaging work, and which need improvement so you can quickly and easily optimise your design.
Advertising research: Eye tracking reveals the true performance of advertising by showing exactly how consumers view it, and which elements are most effective.
UX research: By understanding attention and intent, you can create services and products that people love to use.
We create customised approaches for the organisations we collaborate with and where eye-tracking research is recommended, it is adapted for suit precise business needs, leveraging its strengths to add meaningful insight. We have experience conducting eye-tracking research for a variety of different clients, across sectors including retail, charity & not-for-profit and consumer goods & FMCG.
Using eye tracking to add greater depth
Eye tracking can help to support and enhance qualitative methods including focus groups, accompanied shops, and interviews by combining attention data with consumer insight. Research participants are asked to review their eye-tracking video and ‘think-aloud’ their rationale for their actions and areas of focus, placing the eye-tracking data into meaningful context.
Eye tracking at scale
Where slightly larger sample sizes are available (25+ per sub-group), we can produce precise, quantitative metrics including fixation duration, gaze sequences, and heatmaps. These metrics help identify which elements of a visual scene attract attention, how information is processed, and where improvements can be made.
