This case study shows how a multinational consumer electronics company improved sales and conversions for a new product launch. In particular, leveraging an advanced text analytics solution to help pinpoint the exact issue behind low sales of their new electric razor.
Our client is a large health-tech company. They are well known for their high-quality and innovative products, which aim to improve the lives of both clinical patients and everyday consumers.
As Lotte, our client’s Product Manager, helped to explain:
In the first weeks of release, the results were disheartening. We had done all the tests, and we couldn’t imagine what the reason behind such low scores was.
Pinpointing the exact cause behind new product launch low sales
Main Problem
The main challenge arose when our client released a brand new electric razor for men. It was cordless and came with a printed instruction manual, several different blade options, and a separate charging adapter. Our client’s research and development team invested thousands of euros into creating the razor, running successful tests, and were highly confident that everything would be a smash hit.
However, several weeks after the new product launch, Lotte noticed that across several seller review platforms, the product’s average star ratings dropped to 3.6. This score was also lower than the brand’s other similar models.
Rebecca, our client’s Customer Service Manager, reported that the razor’s return and exchange rates rose significantly in that period. Also, her customer care department received an abnormally higher volume of buyer complaints than in previous periods, mainly about this particular new razor.

It could analyze the entire dataset about this particular electric razor within two weeks, including set up time. This also saved the firm a huge chunk of time while offering them the full explanation for why buyers were unhappy with the razor.
As Lotte shared:
In this [the electric razor] case, we received a quick response from the voice of the consumer and were able to save time, money and get back on track. We’ll have to keep a closer eye on consumer feedback from now on.
