Quantitative Research
Should a project require a quantitative approach, added insight are also experienced in:
When people think of marketing research they often imagine large opinion polls asking them to tick boxes and give scores out of 10. This kind of research aims to 'map the population', often taking the form of an online questionnaire or telephone survey. It’s known as quantitative research, typically leading to high level statistics showing how many people said this or that.
Qualitative research is more about 'mapping the mind'. It involves speaking to smaller numbers of people in much more depth, often on a one-to-one or focus group basis. It’s aimed at understanding not how many people have a certain opinion, but why. It taps into deeper thoughts and feelings rather than top of mind rational answers. Typical output takes the form of key insights, illustrative comments, and strategic recommendations.
It is hugely valuable as a way of really understanding customer needs, buying decisions, barriers to purchase, feelings about a brand and a host of other complex issues. It uses a range of specialist techniques to elicit thoughts and emotions people may need help in articulating or not want to admit.
Some projects require both elements, and qualitative market research can act as a useful supplement or precursor to a more extensive study, but is often used successfully in isolation. We are happy to advise which method is best suited to your needs.
