Where do You Get Your Information?

By: Colleen Davis

Each time a new marketing push comes along you’re going to need to gather quite a bit of information on your customers and what they like. This is the vital first step towards any successful marketing. This has to do with not only the type of marketing they like, such as whether or not you’ll print posters, send out postcards, or hand around flyers, but also the message itself and the images you use with your message.

You have to have a strong support with information for your marketing to deliver what you want it to, and that means first acquiring the information.

I’m not going to list off every method for accomplishing this, because that’s a little too varied to be able to do, but I will discuss a few more broad methods.

The first is the in person way of getting information on your customers. This consists of study groups or face to face meetings with people. You might try to get a completely random sample or you might just go down to your sales floor and start asking people question.

The plus to this is that you can actually be there to clarify answers, and people might elaborate in a way they wouldn’t if they were writing things on paper. Unfortunately you’ll have to either spend more money on the process or you’ll have a naturally small pool of people to choose from because you’re limited to who you can get into contact with.

The second method is by phone. You might just call people up at random or you might ask people if they are willing to put their name on a list to be called. Once again you have more time to clarify answers and they can give you better answers, but the downside is that for cold calling many people specifically dislike this practice, which might hurt your company name.

The third is some in print version. Hand around different surveys to people in your store asking them about what they think about different marketing pushes, or what they think about your store in general. You can also send them through the mail. With this you have a greater pool of people to get answers from, but the answers have to be more limited, and you might not understand exactly what a person intended with their answer.

Lastly internet surveys are very similar to paper ones except with easier access. With these you might be even more limited in what you can ask, however, and are usually limited to more multiple choice that might not give you a complete answer.

Research can be lengthy and difficult, but you can’t print posters or go forward with any kind of advertising until you’ve done the needed research to be sure that know what people are going to enjoy.
