Consumer understanding

A core component of Maxicorp's advisory offering is its commercial insight into consumer needs. It has expertise in identifying consumer dissatisfaction and developing products to meet those demands.

It also provides guidance on effective marketing strategies to promote consumer products and communicate distinctive messaging to consumers. Importantly, Maxicorp Advisory works with businesses to identify shifting consumer demands, both existing and emerging, and how best to out manoeuvre their competitors by adapting to meet these changing needs.

Commercial setting

Maxicorp Advisory's competency also extends to commercial and strategic operations in any industry, covering product development, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, supply-chain management, and selling into key retailers.

Fundamentally, its core expertise is advising companies on how to structure and arrange their processes efficiently, effectively and quickly take advantage of changing consumer needs; protect their market advantage; lower their costs; and limit their exposure to risk.

It also provides insight into other areas, such as brand protection, patent law, and effective commercial negotiation. This negotiation advisory service includes negotiations with suppliers, clients, and potential investors.
