Expert consultation, project planning, questionnaire design, national coverage fieldwork, project management, analysis, and reporting. Market research is to help businesses learn about the market and make informed decisions.
Determine and differentiate the emotional benefits that consumers see behind your products and services. This will help you create a genuine connection between your brand and your customers. Qualitative market research is essential to get a deeper understanding of these emotional connections.
Brand, Product,
or Service Experiences
Brand experience, one of the market research methods, is the relationship a customer develops with a brand by using their 5 senses (touch, taste, smell, hearing, & sight). It is developed through multiple interactions with a product, via advertisements, during brand events, and through consistent interactions with a brand. The basis of the brand experience is associating specific elements to the brand that make it possible to draw respondent attention and generate value. This allows us to analyze a brand that includes sensations, perceptions, and the connection between a company and consumers.
Consumer and
Customer Experiences
Give customers a great experience, and they’ll buy more, be more loyal, and share their experience with family and friends. What is market research? It’s the process of understanding the market and the needs of consumers and learning about them in order to provide them with the best possible experience.
What truly makes for a good experience? Speed. Convenience. Consistency. Friendliness. And Human Touch – in other words, creating real connections by making technology feel more realistic and giving employees what they need to create better customer experiences. This understanding of the lifestyles and behaviors of consumers is crucial, and market research methods can be used to delve deeper into these aspects.
Shopper Experiences
The shopping experience is about feelings, emotions, and sensations. Taking care of this strategy, based on market research studies, can help change your approach from “I want you to buy from me” to “I want to understand you to advise you.” By creating a memorable shopping experience for your customers, you are considerably nearer to closing your next sale. This is where the power of both qualitative and quantitative research comes into play.
Online & Offline Fieldwork Services with National Coverage
For many people, fieldwork can be a hassle, but this is where we’re in our element! Any market research project is built step by step as a pyramid, the top being the actionable results. However, the research and fieldwork services form the base of the pyramid, which must be a solid rock foundation, strong, and made from quality data. We work with various companies, providing online and offline fieldwork services, to collect the data they need to move forward with confidence.
Price
Monitoring
Price monitoring has become an indispensable activity for every business. All businesses, regardless of their sector, need to know what is going on with the prices of their direct competitors. Our team helps you by monitoring prices to increase efficiency, determine pricing strategies, and to have insights about the competition. The purpose of price monitoring, a key aspect of market research, is to ensure that the price of a product or service is at an optimal level. When prices are too high, it can lead to reduced sales and lost revenue. On the other hand, when prices are too low, it can lead to increased expenses and decreased profits.

Quantitative Market Research
Quantitative research deals with data that can be transformed into benefits using numbers; the data is analyzed mathematically to obtain insights. But what is quantitative market research? It is the process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting information about the market, about a product or service to be offered for sale in that market, and about the past, present, and potential customers for the product or service.
We ask a group of people for their opinions in a structured way so that you have facts and statistics to guide you. To get reliable results, it’s important to survey people in fairly large numbers and to ensure they are a representative sample of your target market. This is one of the essential aspects of market research.
Every project is a tailor-made solution for your specific needs. Interviewing can be conducted face to face using CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) or by phone CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) methodologies. The technical devices (small handheld or laptop computers) are selected depending on the complexity and length of the surveys. The goal is to understand the market and its nuances better. The best and most efficient data collection methodologies for every project are chosen, such as centralized location, door-to-door, exit interviews, intercepts, pre-recruits, structured, semi-structured, diary, self-complete, product placement, advertising, and taste-testing, to mention just a few.
Quantitative Market Research
We conduct various qualitative methods, such as face-to-face or online focus groups, in-depth interviews, pair-depth interviews, telephone depth interviews, ethnographies, and online communities for a variety of clients. We know when, where, and how to conduct qualitative research for impactful marketing decision-making. This approach to research helps in understanding the deeper motivations and reasons for consumer behavior.
