Following three years of conducting consumer research on a Regional level, Tourism Vancouver Island developed a program to assist communities in measuring consumer awareness, desirability and Net Promoter Score in the same consistent, reliable and repeatable way.
This program used best practice consumer research methods by randomly sampling residents in key target markets (BC and Alberta) to determine critical consumer considerations along various stages of the path to purchase. This research provides reliable and comparable data enabling communities to identify consumer concerns along the path to purchase and target efforts to enhance effectiveness in areas that could use improvement. It also creates the ability for communities to establish key benchmarks and track the performance of tactics over time.
