Using the findings

The results provided the investors with confidence that the broad concept, content and interpretative approaches were appealing to these audiences, highlighted several significant improvements to make, identified triggers to utilise in marketing communications along with barriers to overcome or address to encourage a visit, and provided firm evidence to determine the pricing structure.

In the words of the client after the research report:

“The research has made a real difference, both to the designers and also to the financing process as well as to the marketing and operations team”

(Keith Thomas, Director, The Petersham Group International Leisure Consultants)

Bug World opened to the public during the summer of 2009.
