While
the landscape of market research is wider, one of the most valuable and visible
sources of market research are Customized Research Reports created by research firms. These research sources, though
virtually, are available in almost every industry, domain and sector, and for
an extensive range of issues (e.g., customer acquisition, risk management,
employee collaboration, and so forth).
However,
apart from being rather expensive- a traditional report runs into thousands-
these sources and companies behind them cannot cater to what the majority of
businesses need more than anything else: customized advice.
This
is just because market research isn’t an issue; regardless of how comprehensive
or in-depth the investigation might be. Instead, it’s a form of business
intelligence. That is because companies that opt for market research don’t just
want to know problems and solutions might look like. They are required to know
how to get away with their specific problems and achieve unique objectives.
In
plain words: Customized Secondary and
Primary Research Reports are academic as well as actionable. This is
because:
· Custom
market research focuses on a business’ particular marketplace rather than the
“marketplace in general”- which is essential, as what may be applicable in one
part of the country, city or region, may not be the case in another. Customize
research makes this distinction, while secondary research cannot.
· Custom
market research pinpoints and targets different departments and groups that
need answers. This is also vital because for each business the issues
encountered by the sales team won’t be the same as those faced by product
development, operations, finance, customer service, and so on. Custom research
does it perfectly and offers relevant information they need on their terms.
·
It’s
not abstract or speculative, but practical and data-driven- which turns it into
a safe spend.
On the other hand, spending hundreds of
bucks on general market research may or may not be a good investment. In
addition to that, without the in-house expertise to activate and interpret the
information, the report will yet be another document sitting on a shelf.
· Custom
market research reports are cost-effective because data collection methods and
overall processes are linked to key priorities. For instance, if a business is
in trouble due to excessive customer churn, it can allocate to its market
research investment to address the issue.
