Absolutely. We built this tool with maximum flexibility in mind for agile marketers, strategists, and agencies. You do not have to purchase the entire region if you don't need it. You can use our frictionless configurator to select only the specific markets and FMCG brands that drive your current business. The system will instantly recalculate the price (starting at just €199), allowing you to pay only for the high-fidelity intelligence you actually need.
Whether you buy one single brand dataset for €199 or the full regional matrix, every single data point comes directly from Valicon’s official, primary 2025/2026 research. The insights are calculated across full representative population samples (n=500 to 1,000 per country) using our professional Opinia.Club online panels. While it is built on the same representative data rigor and statistical accuracy that the region's largest FMCG brands rely on, please note that these reports deliver pure, structured data architecture without narrative interpretation. If you require a bespoke version complete with our strategic expert insights and deep-dive commentary, contact us directly via [email protected].
You receive a high-fidelity, data-driven diagnostic blueprint of the market, delivered in two comprehensive analytical layers:
- The Brand Diamond Cross-Country Analysis: A granular breakdown of performance based on Valicon’s proprietary Brand Diamond framework. For every single brand included in your purchase, you will see exactly how it performs across key equity tiers—Recognition, Relevance, Experience, Usage, Must Brand, and Irreplaceability—compared side-by-side across all analyzed Adria markets (SRB, HRV, BIH, MNE, MKD, and Regional average). This allows you to instantly pinpoint exactly where each selected brand thrives and where its regional footprint fractures.
- Deep-Dive Target Group Mapping: A precise demographic and behavioral scatter-map for each brand. We plot target audiences (including generations like Gen Z and Gen Y, regions, and shopper profiles like discounter vs. non-discounter buyers) across two critical emotional axes: Must Brand (% must have at home) and Irreplaceability (% irreplaceable among users). This reveals the unfiltered truth about who your core loyalists are, which segments drive emotional dominance, and which groups are highly vulnerable to brand switching.
Once you log into the platform, a dedicated section Resources is available directly in your app workspace. There, you can review full documentation including precise sample & data collection standards, brand definition and portfolio logic, research timing, our specific visual logo-based testing approach, and other core research protocols
In 2026, ignorance is a luxury you cannot afford. Don’t wait for your competitors to see the data first.
Unlock the true map of regional strength and irreplaceability before your next pitch, tender, or board meeting.
