Results trackers are the whey protein consumers in India who judge protein by what shows in the mirror. They often act on a coach’s or friend’s recommendation, buy again what works and rule out what doesn’t. They are one of six segments in our overview of whey protein consumers in India.
Who are Results trackers?
Results trackers talk about performance more than any other segment, and they act on performance, on lifestyle or diet changes, and on recommendations from people they trust. They buy again about 1.9 times as often as the average consumer, and rule products out about 1.5 times as often. They shortlist and research less, and switch less. For them, one product that works is enough.
What do Results trackers say?
- “From dad bod to slim build in 6-7 months.”
- “To my surprise I actually built more muscle over time.”
Both describe an outcome over months, not a taste or a price. Remarks about performance in this category are mostly positive, so when results come, consumers say so.
Who influences Results trackers?
Recommendation is one of the main reasons this segment buys. A coach, a gym peer or a friend who has seen the result carries more weight than a pack claim, which also explains why this segment researches less.
What could brands test to win Results trackers?
These are ideas to put in front of the segment, not conclusions.
- Ways for coaches and gym peers to try and vouch for a product.
- Stories from real customers about results over months, with their consent.
- A clear plan for how much to take and for how long, so the consumer gives it a fair run.
- Easy reorder, since this segment buys again when it works.
