In this blog, the technological advancement in the field of market research will be explored and also reasons why organizations should consider conducting market research today.
How has market research shaped until 2020?
In the past five years, there is a definite boom in the demand for more consumer insights. It is noticed that surveys are getting shorter while AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) is used to enhance the data and discover hidden patterns. Today, companies want to hear directly from their consumers on the product or service feedback, almost immediately post usage. And mechanisms to gather such qualitative and quantitative feedbacks have improved significantly. Today we have online panels, mobile phone surveys, POS surveys, online focus groups, etc. which allows gathering information in a shorter time frame and almost in real-time. There are a lot of self-service platforms and websites where companies can administer their own short micro-surveys, mostly for CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) and NPS (Net Promoter Scores). Software like Tableau and Microsoft BI, Survey Development platforms like SurveyMonkey, Web Analytics like Google Analytics have all made it easier than ever before for companies to collect and synthesize large quantities of data with limited third-party assistance.
What can you expect in the future?
As we move to the new decade, companies who understand their customer better and align their brand, product or services to meet and exceed these customers’ needs and expectations are bound to win in the market. It is important to note that quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and processes will remain valuable as companies and brands will continue to measure and benchmark various parameters like awareness, satisfaction, and perceptions. What technology has changed is the method of data collection, speed of data collection and speed at which insights can be delivered.
