Marketing
Your marketing planning
process should involve not only carrying out your market research,
including competitor activity, but also market information which
should include anything you need to know in order to formulate
strategy and make business decisions.
Although such information may
be available in the form of statistical
economic and demographic data from libraries, research
and professional companies like ours, it
takes a great deal of time to bring them to a format that
will be 'friendly' to the structure of your business and in tune
with your corporate vision. This is what is
called Secondary Research.
This is where we come into
play, by being prepared to provide your organization with the interpretation
and manipulation of such information to serve your own
purposes. We'll also provide you with a structure that will allow
your company to carry out its own 'Primary
Research' through:
-
Customer
Feed-back
-
Surveys
-
Questionnaires
-
Focus
Groups
We will also manage such
information for you and tailor it to your precise needs, and like
the secondary research, we'll do so through careful analysis
to ensure that your starting point will be
accurate so that projecting and extrapolating will be done with
great confidence.
Primary
Research is recommended for local and niche services. The
main elements that we'll typically bring to your understanding are:
-
Customer
profile and mix
-
Product
mix
-
Demographic
issues and trends
-
Future
regulatory and legal effects
-
Prices
and values, and customer perceptions in these areas
-
Competitor
activities
-
Competitor
strengths and weaknesses
-
Customer
service perceptions, priorities and needs
Our goal is to allow your
company to obtain thoroughly formatted, and manipulated marketing
data tailored to your business needs (typically in a
spreadsheet format) without the typical expensive costs associated
with using typical marketing and research organizations.
In short, our services
will allow you to successfully do the following:
-
