Where to find industrial designers in order to convert them to customers
The idea that helps Industrial designers
Industrial designers want to design cutting-edge products with enhanced functionality. However, they can't get it because they struggle with prototyping and testing new concepts efficiently.
Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. ProtoDesign.
Prototype and test your designs with ProtoDesign : ProtoDesign is an innovative product design software that accelerates the prototyping and testing process for industrial designers. With advanced simulation tools, virtual testing environments, and collaborative design features, ProtoDesign enables designers to iterate on their concepts rapidly and create products with enhanced functionality. Of course it is much better than the stuff from DesignProto, or RapidConcept!
How to find Industrial designers
You can get insights about the pain points of industrial designers if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.
The process, step by step
One process that we can totally recommend is this:
- Find out where industrial designers hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
- Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
- Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
- If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of industrial designers, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
- At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Prototype and test your designs with ProtoDesign.
I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
