Our data collection and information gathering include a full array of research methodologies.
Surveys are a cost effective way to gather information from a large population. The simplicity of using multiple choice, yes/no, and scaled questions enables a valid and reliable amount of information. Marketing Excellence can create, pretest and administer the surveys via online, email, telephone, in-person, or mail.
Interviews involve asking open-ended questions in a one-on-one setting. The goal is to gather qualitative information from a smaller number of people usually industry experts, opinion leaders and corporate decision makers. Marketing Excellence can script the interview questions, recruit interviewees and conduct the interviews with our professional researchers and interviewers to ensure reliable information is collected. We can provide recordings of the interviews and a report of our findings.
Focus Group sessions enable a small group of people to participate in an open discussion. It allows you to be part of the information gathering process in real time. You’ll be able to add impromptu questions and witness respondents’ experience and reactions to your product or service scenarios. Marketing Excellence will script the questions, recruit pre-qualified respondents, guide the discussion, provide recordings of the sessions and report on our findings.
Observational research examines how participants behave in their setting. Whether it’s managing your product’s beta test program, acting as a secret shopper, or just watching your customer in action, Marketing Excellence can unobtrusively monitor the service encounter as well as capture the user’s experience.
