What is product co-creation?

Product co-creation is a collaborative process where consumers vote on and influence product designs before manufacturing. On Demoverse, brands upload concepts, consumers provide feedback and vote, and the designs evolve based on real demand signals — ensuring brands only produce what people actually want.

How do consumers earn rewards on Demoverse?

Consumers earn rewards by voting on product designs, providing feedback, and contributing to design evolution. Every vote and input is tracked, and contributors earn credit for shaping products that go to market.

How does co-creation reduce customer acquisition costs?

Co-creation builds brand loyalty before a product launches. Contributors who helped shape a product become invested advocates — lowering acquisition costs through organic word-of-mouth, higher conversion rates, and repeat purchases from an engaged community.

How does Demoverse help brands reduce deadstock?

By validating consumer demand before manufacturing, brands only produce products with proven interest. Real voting data and feedback signals replace guesswork, dramatically reducing overproduction and unsold inventory.

How brands use product co-creation

Product co-creation gives customers a part in developing a product. The brand provides the starting point and the boundaries; customers contribute changes they want to see.

Bring a starting point

Start with an image, a written product brief or a product page. Explain which details can change and which need to stay. A focused question helps customers make useful suggestions.

Invite people to contribute

Share your campaign link through your social channels or website. Customers use AI visualisation to show their ideas and give feedback. Their input comes back to the brand portal.

Review designs and insights together

Research teams can explore recurring requests. Designers can use the visual directions to prepare a sample. Marketing teams can involve their audience before launch and continue the conversation as the product develops.

Consensus ideas bring common requests together. Your team makes the final development decision, including checks on cost, feasibility and brand fit.

Choose the right research for the question

Interviews and surveys can help explain motivations. Co-creation adds visual proposals that customers can change and discuss. AI simulations explore model-generated responses; they do not replace participation by your customers. Use each method for the question it can help answer.

Give contributors a reason to join

A campaign can offer exclusive access, winning-design rewards, royalties or a factory visit. Set out the actual offer, eligibility and attribution terms before inviting contributions. Rewards depend on the campaign.

Start small

Choose one product, one audience and a decision your team needs to make. Start free, review the contributions and use what you learn to plan the next step.
