Why waiting weeks for research costs marketers millions

In fast-moving markets like Vietnam, speed is no longer a luxury. It’s a competitive advantage. Yet many companies are still stuck in the old model, where high market research cost and long timelines mean commissioning studies, waiting weeks for reports, and only then making decisions. By that point, the moment has already passed.

This is exactly the gap AskCimigo, powered by Cimigo’s consumer research expertise, was built to close, enabling brands to move from slow insights to decisions in real time.

The real cost of delay

Every day spent waiting on research is a day your competitors are testing, adapting, and moving forward, while market research cost continues to rise. Delayed insights mean:

  • Slower campaigns: missing cultural or seasonal windows.
  • Weaker pitches: agencies lose new business because they can’t answer client questions on the spot.
  • Higher risk: launching without consumer validation often leads to costly mistakes.
