Market Research


Market research is the process of obtaining information from consumers or markets for specifc needs. These needs may be the ability to increase market share, develop better products or evaluate a market for potential products or services.

Market research by individual people or organisations may be too prohibitive in cost or unable to reach the demographic mix or volume required to obtain statistically significant data. As such there are a number of organisations specializing in market research.

These companies have access to large numbers of people across many countries. They achieve this by creating large opinion panels offering points, prizes and cash incentives (via paid surveys) to their panel members.

As a product marketer or creater these market research panels can provide accurate and targeted research for a controlled and defined research spend. It reduces marketing and product development risk when you have real and more importantly up to date information.

As individuals we have the opportunity to shape future products and also influence the way we want to be marketed to for new or existing products. We can voice our opinions and earn money whilst doing so.
