Possible Methods

Dependent on market information readily available to you and where you are in the development process, we have utilized both Qualitative and Quantitative methods of research in understanding and measuring Buyer Behaviors.

Qualitative Methods via Focus Groups, Triads or One-on-Ones – In-depth discussions with recent buyers of products or services that allow us to dissect the decision-making and buying process – from initial thought, information gathering, selecting choices to closing the deal.  This research helps companies to understand a potential macro buying process and its intricacies or hurdles, customer language and perception of the process and selection factors, and a full view of the buying landscape.  This research can also help construct appropriate and sound design for quantitative research, if measurement is warranted.

Quantitative Methods via Online, Phone or Paper Survey – Quantify buying behavior in the buying process, prioritize selection factors to provide other key information to aid in strategy development for sales efforts and marketing positioning.
