Market Research Methods

Market Research MethodsAlthough there are many ways to perform market research, most businesses use one or more of five basic methods: surveys, focus group, personal interviews, observation, and field trials.

Various market research methods are used to find out information about markets, target markets and their needs, competitors, market trends, customer satisfaction with products and services, etc. The type of data you need and how much money you’re willing to spend will determine which techniques you choose for.

Market research methods are divided into the following categories:

1. Questioning:

  • Qualitative marketing research – used for exploratory purposes. This method gathers non-numerical data from a relatively small number of participants. The data is not analyzed using statistical techniques, but summarized and interpreted by researchers. The most common methods employed in qualitative research are focus group interviews and in-depth interviews.
  • Quantitative marketing research – used to draw conclusions . It covers all projects in which numerical data is either directly aimed for or used in the process of providing final answers. A survey that asks a series of closed questions is a typical and probably most popular quantitative research method.

2. Observation:

  • Ethnographic studies – Examples include product-use analysis and computer cookie traces
  • Experimental techniques – Examples include purchase laboratories and test markets.

Specific market research methods are designed to balance data quality, direct costs, professional fees and timeframe. The methodology should take an approach that is replicable, manageable and as economical as possible given the research objectives.

Market research is an important tool that supports business decision making. Whether you’re deciding to expand internationally or create a new product, let Roe Smithson & Asociados Ltda help you gather the data you need to make your next business be a success.

Secondary Source Investigation

Secondary Source InvestigationSecondary source investigation in market research involves collecting second-hand data from reports and studies carried out by government agencies, trade associations or other businesses within your industry.

Such reports are usually published in pamphlets, newsletters, trade publications, magazines, and newspapers. Secondary source investigation includes:

  • Public sources. These are usually free, often offer a lot of good information, and include government departments, business departments of public libraries, and so on.
  • Commercial sources. These are valuable, but usually involve cost factors such as subscription and association fees. Commercial sources include research and trade associations, banks and other financial institutions, and publicly traded corporations.
  • Educational institutions. These are frequently overlooked as valuable information sources even though more research is conducted in colleges, universities, and technical institutes than virtually any sector of the business community.

Marketers are attracted to secondary source investigation due to the time savings and potential cost savings in acquiring information, among other advantages this data offers to the marketer such as:

  • Ease of access – The Internet has certainly meant a change to secondary source investigation as research is accessed by offering convenience (e.g., online access from many locations) and generally standardized usage methods for all data sources.
  • Helps to clarify research question – Secondary research is often used prior to larger scale primary research to help clarify what is to be learned. For instance, a researcher doing competitor analysis, but who is not familiar with competitors in a market, could access secondary source investigation to locate a list of potential competitors.
  • Answers research question – As noted, secondary source investigation is often used to help set the stage for primary research. In the course of doing so researchers may find that the exact information they were looking for is available via secondary sources thus eliminating the need and expense to carrying out their own primary research.
  • Shows difficulties in conducting primary research – The originators of secondary source investigation often provide details on how the information was collected. This may include discussion of difficulties encountered. For instance, the secondary research may be a research report written by a large market research company. These types of reports often include a section discussing the procedures used to collect the data and within this may disclose problems in obtaining the data, such as a high percentage of people declining to take part in the research. After reading this the marketer may decide the potential information that may be obtained is not worth the potential difficulties in conducting the research.

Let Roe Smithson & Asociados Ltda present you several alternatives for locating good secondary source investigation.

Surveys

surveyMarket and survey researchers perform research to find out how well the market will receive products, services, and ideas. Such research may include planning, implementing, and analyzing surveys to determine the needs and preferences of people.

Market research analysts devise methods and procedures for obtaining the data they need. Often, they design surveys to assess consumer preferences through Internet, telephone, or mail responses.

They conduct some surveys as personal interviews, going door-to-door, leading focus group discussions, or setting up booths in public places. Trained interviewers usually conduct the surveys under the market research analyst’s direction.

Survey researchers also gather information about people and their opinions, but they focus exclusively on designing and conducting surveys. The surveys collect information that is used in performing research, making fiscal or policy decisions, measuring the effectiveness of those decisions, or improving customer satisfaction.

Survey researchers may use a variety of mediums to conduct surveys, such as the Internet, personal or telephone interviews, or questionnaires sent through the mail. They also may supervise interviewers who conduct surveys in person or over the telephone. They design surveys in many different formats, depending upon the scope of their research and the method of collection.
