What data can a Quantitative Market Research firm provide?

The short answer is just about anything you need to know about but of course, it’s never quite that simple.

A lot depends on how the request for information is prepared and presented. Most statistical information is obtained using surveys and questionnaires.

This means that long before any actual market research takes place, a strategy that defines the objectives of the survey is drawn up. This is then used to begin to zero in on the specific questions that a survey should answer. Anything that can be expressed as a number can be researched quantitatively.

Some examples of typical quantitative questions areas include:

  • Which brand attributes are the most important for your consumers?
  • How your brand performs on these attributes versus the competition.
  • Levels of awareness, consideration, usage, loyalty.
  • Price elasticity – How much current consumers would be willing to pay for your product? What about new potential consumers?

We start with the big business questions, and we work with you to turn those into research questions. We do the heavy lifting, and we promise that we make quantitative surveys and data interpretation fun.

What are the Benefits of Quantitative Research?

Back in the marketing dark days when the only way to get your research done was by posting surveys out or telephoning people, the industry struggled to get the representative data it needed.

Now that we live in a much more connected world, placing a questionnaire in front of your target audience is that much easier. The quality of the data, the speed at which it can be delivered, and the size of the samples mean that quantitative data is more popular than ever. Of course, you’ve probably heard about ‘big data’. It has its place but the at Spark we believe in ‘big insight’. Lots of data is just that – insight is what matters.

Are there any Negatives?

Accumulating research data is never a negative thing, but each method works within its own set of confines. Quantitative research tells you what you need to know about what, and how many; but in most cases, it doesn’t explain the why.

However, issues like this as are not insurmountable. Generally considered a quantitative research technique, introducing an open question and a text box for the answer, and you start to find out the “why” behind the “how many”. Of course, we will often conduct quantitative and qualitative techniques hand in hand – depending on the research objective.

Market research companies like Spark Market Research have many other strings to their bow. At Spark, we often state that we combine technology, creativity, and passion to find solutions that work for our clients. Finding innovative and imaginative solutions like blending and blurring the lines between quantitative and qualitative market research, is something we are passionate about. It also delivers outstanding results for our clients. Tell us what you want to know and why and we will help you choose the most appropriate techniques – that’s our job.

 

Work that Works

Research shouldn’t be boring. We believe that fun breeds creativity, which in turn, delivers better results. And that’s why collaboration is core to Spark projects. We work in partnership with our clients, creating the insight which turns customer understanding into strategy.
