Marketing research forms the main basis of making informed
decisions in a business. Marketing research is used by business
managers to get updated with the changing tastes and preferences of
the target market. Marketing research is an expensive process and
many businesses scrap marketing research for this reason but could
lead to detrimental results in the future for the firm if marketing
research is avoided. Marketing research is of great importance to
business during new product launches, finalizing sales promotion
and advertising decisions. Marketing research helps a business to
identify its target audience, customer behavior, buying habits,
complaints and refine their marketing strategies accordingly.
Primary marketing research is of great importance compared to
secondary marketing research as it collects primary data directly
from the stakeholders of the business. The marketing research
process has five main stages including problem or opportunity
definition, research plan development, data collection, analysis
and action.
Consider the IT industry example of a company selling antivirus
products or software. The above five stages of marketing research
are explained in the perspective of.
1. Problem or Opportunity definition
In this stage of marketing research, the problem is defined in a
clear and concise manner. Here several questions are developed to
define the problem and identify the opportunity that lies as a
result of solving the problem. In the case of an antivirus software
company, the problem is the hacking, privacy and security concerns
existing in the IT industry. The company finds an opportunity and
states that the antivirus software will provide a solution to the
privacy and security problems existing in the IT industry.
2. Research plan development
In this stage, techniques of conducting research are finalized.
Some of the popular techniques to conduct primary marketing
research include surveys, questionnaire, interviews, focus groups,
user tests and analytics etc. Secondary marketing research
techniques include data collection from reliable sources like
journals, academic sources, magazines, annual reports etc. In the
above case of an antivirus software company, primary marketing
research in the form of surveys and questionnaire is found apt and
finalized. The questionnaire pertaining to the various privacy and
security issues were framed and distributed among the stakeholders
of the IT industry to collect primary data.
3. Data collection
In this stage of marketing research, both quantitative and
qualitative data is collected. The antivirus software company
collects primary data through open and close-ended questions in the
survey method adopted.
4. Data Analysis
In this stage, appropriate analytical tools are used to interpret
the collected data into useful information. Based on this
information, reports are generated to address the privacy and
security problem. The antivirus software company collects
information on privacy and security breaches and a report is made
detailing the various online security threats posing the IT
industry. Tools like percentage analysis, chi-square test, T-test
are used to find the relationship between variables considered in
the research study.
5. Take action
In this last stage, actions are taken based on the report. The
antivirus software company includes the report findings into the
software and develops robust antivirus software that solves the
existing privacy and security problems.
