Our Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research) Fieldworks      

Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research) is the systematic Gathering, Recording, & Analysis of Qualitative & Quantitative Data about issues relating to Marketing Products & Services. The goal is to identify & assess how changing elements of the Marketing Mix impacts Customer Behavior.

  • Market Research, Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research), & Marketing are a sequence of Business Activities; sometimes these are handled informally.

 

  • The field of Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research) is much older than that of Market Research. Although both Marketing Research & Market Research involve Consumers, Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research) is concerned specifically about Marketing Processes, such as Advertising Effectiveness & Salesforce Effectiveness.

 

  • On the other hand, Market Research is concerned specifically with Markets & Distribution. 

 

  • Two explanations given for confusing Market Research with Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research) are the similarity of the terms.

 

  • Also, it is to be noted that Market Research is a subset of Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research).


Our Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research) Techniques 1 


All these forms of Marketing Research (Marketing Management Research, Brand Management Research) can be classified as either:

 

  • Problem-identification Research

  • Problem-solving Research.

 

A similar distinction exists between Exploratory Research & Conclusive Research. Exploratory Research provides Insights into & comprehension of an issue or situation. It should draw definitive conclusions only with extreme caution.

  • Conclusive Research draws Conclusions: the results of the study can be generalized to the whole population.

 

  • Exploratory Research is conducted to explore a problem to get some basic idea about the solution at the preliminary stages of research. It may serve as the input to Conclusive Research. Exploratory Research Information is collected by Focus Group Interviews, Reviewing Literature or Books, discussing with Experts, etc. This is Unstructured & Qualitative in nature. If a Secondary Source of Data is unable to serve the purpose, a Convenience Sample of small size can be collected.

 

  • Conclusive Research is conducted to draw some Conclusion about the Problem. It is essentially, Structured & Quantitative Research, & the output of this research is the input to Management Information Systems (MIS).

 

  • Exploratory Research is also conducted to simplify the findings of the Conclusive or Descriptive Research, if the findings are very hard to interpret for the Marketing Managers.
