When it comes to marketing and market research, understanding how to measure your customer’s/consumer’s wants and needs can be tricky. Market research is the act of gathering facts and data regarding a business’ target audience. While there are multiple methods in being able to measure this, we will focus on the questionnaire and the variations you can utilize in marketing. Here, we’ll be focusing on three. But, before you enjoy this content further, why not join and book a meeting with us at Alpha Co. Media and Marketing for your one-stop shop for marketing needs?Â
What type of Questionnaire Exists in Marketing?
A common survey used by researchers is the Customer Satisfaction Survey. This allows your customers and consumers to answer a series of questions about the product, campaign, business, service, etc. that you’re providing them. This is a great way for businesses to gather information and understand, how well their service, product, campaign, etc. are being received by their audience. This option is also relatively one of the easier methods to plan and execute, as it’s simple targeted questions.
Focus Group Surveys are another great method, as this allows businesses to directly ask questions and better understand their target audience. During this process, businesses will usually bring in different groups of people as many times as required (usually 5-10 groups, depending) to gain data about their target audience’s needs and to eliminate biased results. Proctors would be monitoring the sessions and ask questions directly to the groups, where the proctor would observe the answers, reactions, and emotions. This allows for more immediate and direct data to be resourced for the business. Â
A third method is an Online Survey. This type of survey is better catered for website customer feedback and online-retail information. Companies like Amazon would be able to utilize this method well, as much of their operations are online-based. This is arguably easier, as online methods allow for ease of access for target audiences and ease of execution by the business. However, this does not necessarily mean that it’s a better option, as the lack of human interaction could prevent the gain of some necessary information, such as reactions, emotions, and body language. This could also be a great option for start-ups. As many start-ups are internet-based, it could be argued that this would be both a cost-effective and easily executed process.
