Best market research for reliability & accuracy
Market Research
accuracy and validity for decision making is so important
companies should pursue the best information, to make the best
decisions possible.
Many research firms propose focus group research as the basis for qualitative discovery, to be followed by surveys that are statistically reliable.
A better research approach
The advanced proprietary research methodology that makes our market research so much better is qualitative and quantitative research that focuses on customers, not just consumers, and behaviour (what they do) rather than psychographics (what they say).
This approach to a market research project will draw out the real issues crucial for understanding the market segments and making decisions about advertising, marketing planning, new product development, and brand equity changes.
Sophisticated and superior market research for market segmentation, market analysis & marketing planning
Not
only is Customer Value Management by data mining less expensive that focus groups, it is much more
accurate. In fact, it is a very rare event when psychographics actually proves true in
the real world.
However, behaviour is already true, and understanding it, and utilising that understanding, is much more realistic and reliable basis for better decision making. It leads to insight on industry, market, competitor, and past market research to help executives make the best decisions for their businesses.
On the basis of customer behaviour, you can build Market Research using qualitative marketing analysis, cost effective research methods and quantitative research methodology and apply this sophisticated market segmentation and business intelligence and insight to evoke significant gains in sustainable competitive advantage.

How Much Research Other Companies Do?
Business Benchmarks: What is the 'right' amount to spend on market research?
Want to build a brand worth 120 billion dollars U.S? Spend 3% of your sales on market research! (that’s what Coke does and why the Coca Cola brand is worth A$121B.)In the mid 90’s a study reported that Industry usually only spends 0.2% of sales revenues on market research. In contrast, product development research was found to run to five or ten percent of sales.
Often, the root cause of the “80% of all products fail” cliché, is the introduction of products with little or no market potential.Launch Engineering recommends a rough guideline: Businesses with over $2.5M in sales are urged to have a separate market research department, or at least an information manager responsible for the corporate knowledge base.
Less than 0.2% of sales on research is a strong indicator of weak management, creating a foundation for an uncertain corporate future. Between 0.5% and 1% is a conservative budget, but should return significant long-term advantage and better corporate ROSF than an alternative, lower budget.Market Research Budgets for Fortress Strategies
