What will Survey Design & Analysis Do?

Our brand research is usually includes a mix of qualitative and quantitative work. We start out with qualitative work, which may include focus groups or personal one-on-one in-depth interviews. The interviews provide some two-way communication with customers at the start of the research in order to make sure your efforts are touching on that which is most important to the customer and any later surveys are in the language of the customers.

Quantitative research will use the results from the qualitative research and validate its findings. The quantitative research produces the hard data on which decisions can be made. The qualitative research guides the quantitative research and validates findings from it. This is strictly based on the numbers of participants for each type of research. In-depth interviews and focus groups will typically involve only 10-20 participants while a research survey will receive hundreds of responses.
