Introduction
Market research survey is a powerful tool, and one of the best ways to make sure that you’re creating products and services that are tailored to your most competitive market. As a company, you want to make sure that you’re making products that people want, and market research is the best way to do that.
But in order to do market research, you need to make sure you’re using the right market research tools. Many companies use panels, but panels suffer from several problems. Panels are small samples, they generally have only a few talkative people, and are subject to biases.
Panels can be useful for brainstorming, but when it comes to discovering your market and ensuring that you are creating and marketing products for it successfully, you need to collect more information and in a way that you can analyze easily.
