Method Definition Advantage Disadvantage
Primary
Primary research is a collection of original
primary data collected by the researcher. It
is often undertaken after the researcher has
gained some insight into the issue by
reviewing secondary research or by
evaluating previously collected primary
data.[clarification needed] It can be
accomplished through various methods,
including questionnaires and telephone
interviews in market research, or
experiments and, amongst others.
Researcher can focus on both qualitative
and quantitative problems.
Addresses specific research issues as the
researcher controls the search design to
fit their needs
Great control; not only does primary
research enable the marketer to focus on
specific subjects; it also enables the
researcher to have a higher control over
how the information is collected. Taking
this into account, the researcher can
decide on such requirements as size of
project, time frame and goal.
Compared to secondary research,[clarification needed]
primary data may be very expensive in preparing and
carrying out the research. Costs can be incurred in
producing the paper for questionnaires or the equipment
for an experiment of some sort.
In order to be done properly, primary data collection
requires the development and execution of a research
plan. It takes longer to undertake primary research than
to acquire secondary data.
Some research projects, while potentially offering
information that could prove quite valuable, may not be
within the reach of a researcher.
By the time the research is complete it may be out of
date. Low response rate has to be expected.
Secondary
Secondary data is the data collected by
someone else other than the researcher
himself. This data can be gathered from
government records, books, trade
associations, national or international
institutes, statistics agencies, etc.

you just have to go onto the internet.
