This document provides guidance on conducting market research for small businesses. It discusses the importance of market research for understanding customer needs and developing effective marketing strategies. The key steps outlined are: 1) defining marketing problems and opportunities, 2) setting objectives, budget and timetables, 3) selecting primary or secondary research methods, and 4) designing research instruments such as questionnaires. Primary research involves directly gathering new data from customers, while secondary research uses existing information.

5. Marketing Research
Marketing research is the systematic
gathering, recording and analyzing of data
about problems relating to the marketing
of goods and services.
Market research will give you the data you
need to identify and reach your target
market at a price customers are willing to
pay.
6. Marketing research focuses and organizes
marketing information. It permits
entrepreneurs to:
Spot current and upcoming problems in the current
market
Reduce business risks
Identify sales opportunities
Develop plans of action
7. Market Research
Successful marketing requires timely and
relevant market information.
An inexpensive research program, based on
questionnaires given to current or prospective
customers, can uncover dissatisfaction or
possible new products or services.
8. Marketing research is not a perfect science. It
deals with people and their constantly changing
feelings and behaviors, which are influenced by
countless subjective factors.
To conduct marketing research, you must gather
facts and opinions in an orderly, objective way to
find out what people want to buy, not just what
you want to sell them.
9. Market research will identify trends that
affect sales and profitability.
Population shifts
Legal developments
The local economic situation should be monitored to
quickly identify problems and opportunities
Keeping up with competitors' market
strategies also is important.
10. Every small business owner
must ask the following
questions to devise effective
marketing strategies:
Who are my customers and potential
customers?
What kind of people are they?
Where do they live?
Can and will they buy?
11. Am I offering the kinds of goods or services they
want at the best place, at the best time and in the
right amounts?
Are my prices consistent with what buyers view as
the product's value?
Are my promotional programs working?
What do customers think of my business?
How does my business compare with my
competitors?
12. What is the systematic gathering, recording
and analyzing of data about problems
relating to the marketing of goods and
services?
A. Market strategy
B. Market research
C. Market approach
D. Market plan
Click to see the answer.
13. Why do market research?
People will not buy products or services they do not
want.
Learning what customers want and how to present it
drives the need for marketing research.
Small business has an edge over larger businesses in
this regard.
Small business owners have a sense of their customers' needs
from years of experience, but this informal information may
not be timely or relevant to the current market.
14. How to do market research
Analyze returned items.
Ask former customers why they've switched.
Look at competitors’ prices.
Formal marketing research simply makes this
familiar process orderly. It provides a framework
to organize market information.
15. Market research - the process
Market research can be simple or
complex.
You might conduct simple market
research.
Example: Questionnaire in your customer bills
to gather demographic information about your
customers
You might conduct complex research.
Example: Hiring a professional market
research firm to conduct primary research to
aid in developing a marketing strategy to
launch a new product
16. Regardless of the simplicity or complexity
of your marketing research project, you'll
benefit by reviewing the following seven
steps in the market research process.

17. Step 1: Define Marketing Problems
and Opportunities
You are trying to launch a new
product or service.
Awareness of your company and
its products or services is low.
The market is familiar with your
company, but still is not doing
business with you.
Your company has a poor image
and reputation.
Your goods and services are not
reaching the buying public in a
timely manner.
Opportunity
Problem
Problem
Problem
Problem
19. Objectives
Explore the nature of a problem so you may
further define it.
Determine how many people will buy your product
packaged in a certain way and offered at a certain
price.
Test possible cause- and effect- relationships.
For example, if you lower your price by 10 percent, what
increased sales volume should you expect?
What impact will this strategy have on your profit?
20. Budget
Your market research budget is a portion of your
overall marketing budget.
Allocate a small percentage of gross sales for the
most recent year to use on market research.
It’s usually about 2 percent for an existing business.
Planning to launch a new product or business?
You may want to increase your budget to as much as 10
percent of your expected gross sales.
Other methods include analyzing and estimating the
competition's budget and calculating your cost of
marketing per sale.
21. What percentage
of gross sales
from an existing
business should
be used for
market research?
A. 2%
B. 4%
C. 8%
D. 10%
Click to see the answer.
22. Timetables
Prepare a detailed timeline to complete all
steps of the market research process.
Establish target dates that will allow the best
accessibility to your market.
For example, a holiday greeting card business may want
to conduct research before or around the holiday season
buying period, when its customers are most likely to be
thinking about their purchases.
23. Step 3: Select Research Types,
Methods and Techniques
Two types of research are available:
Primary research is original information gathered
for a specific purpose.
Secondary research is information that already
exists somewhere.
24. Secondary Research
Secondary research is faster and less
expensive than primary research.
Gathering secondary research may be as
simple as making a trip to your local
library or business information center or
browsing the Internet.
It utilizes information already published.
Surveys, books, magazines, etc.
25. Secondary Research Cont.
Localized figures provide better information
as local conditions might buck national
trends.
Newspapers and other local media are helpful.
Many sources of secondary research material
are available. It can be found in:
Libraries
GALES' Directory is available at any public library.
Colleges
Trade and general business publications and
newspapers
Trade associations and government agencies are
rich sources of information.
26. Example of Secondary Research
An article may show how much working
mothers spent on convenience foods last
year.
If you were thinking about selling a
convenience food, this information would
show you what kind of market there is for
convenience foods.
It doesn’t show you how much they are willing
to spend on your particular product.
27. Primary Research
Primary research can be as simple as
asking customers or suppliers how they
feel about a business, or as complex as
surveys conducted by professional
marketing research firms.
Examples of primary research are:
Direct-mail questionnaires
On-line or telephone surveys
Experiments
Panel studies
Test marketing
Behavior observation
28. Primary Research
Primary research is divided into reactive and
nonreactive research.
Nonreactive
Observes how real people behave in real market situations
without influencing that behavior
Reactive research
Includes surveys, interviews and questionnaires
This research is best left to marketing professionals, as
they usually can get more objective and sophisticated
results.
29. Primary Research Cont.
Those who can't afford high-priced marketing
research services should consider asking
nearby college or university business schools
for help.
30. What is primary research?
Go to the following Web site to find the answer:
www.sba.gov/smallbusinessplanner/manage/marketa
ndprice/SERV_MARKBASICS.html
Click to see the answer.
A. Original information gathered for a specific
purpose
B. Information that already exists somewhere else
C. Low awareness of your company and its products
or services
D. All of the above
31. What is secondary research?
A. Information that already exists
B. Original information gathered for a
specific purpose
C. Research done with a secondary party
Click to see the answer.
32. Step 4: Design Research Instruments
The most common research instrument is the
questionnaire. Keep these tips in mind when
designing your market research questionnaire.
Keep it simple. Include instructions for answering all
questions
Begin the survey with general questions and move
toward more specific questions.
Design a questionnaire that is graphically pleasing and
easy to read.
33. Before printing the survey, ask a few people to
complete the survey and give feedback.
Mix the form of the questions for different
sections of the questionnaire
Scales
Rankings
Open-ended questions
Closed-ended questions
The form or way a question is asked may
influence the answer given. Questions are in two
forms: closed-end questions and open-end
questions.
34. Closed-ended questions
Types of closed-ended questions include:
Multiple choice questions
“Yes” or “No” questions
Scales refer to questions that ask respondents to
rank their answers or measure their answer at a
particular point on a scale.
For example, a respondent may have the choice to rank
his/her feelings toward a particular statement. The scale
may range from "Strongly Disagree" "Disagree" and
"Indifferent" to "Agree" and "Strongly Agree."
35. Open-ended questions
Respondents answer questions in their own
words.
Types of open-ended questions include:
Word association questions ask respondents to state the
first word that comes to mind when a particular word is
mentioned.
Fill-in-the blank
For example, a question might read:
“When I eat toast and jelly, I use
_____brand of jelly and it usually
costs about ________ per jar.
36. This module has used questions. Have
they been open- or closed-ended?
A. Open-ended
B. Closed-ended
37. Step 5: Collect Data
To obtain clear, unbiased and
reliable results, collect the data
under the direction of experienced
researchers.
Before beginning data collection,
You must to train, educate and
supervise your research staff.
Untrained staff conducting primary
research will lead to interviewer bias.
38. Step 5 Cont.
Stick to the objectives and rules associated with
the methods and techniques you have set in
Step 2 and Step 3.
Be as scientific as possible in gathering your
information.
39. Step 6: Organize
and Analyze the Data
Once data has been collected, it needs to be
cleaned.
Cleaning research data involves editing, coding
and tabulating results.
Start with a simply designed research instrument or
questionnaire.
40. Look for data focusing on immediate market needs.
Rely on subjective information only as support for
more general findings of objective research.
Analyze for consistency; compare the results of
different methods of your data collection.
Look for common opinions that may be counted
together.
Read between the lines. For example, combine U.S.
Census Bureau statistics on median income levels for
a given location and the number of homeowners vs.
renters in the area.
41. Step 7: Present and Use Market
Research Findings
Once marketing information is
collected and analyzed, present it in
an organized manner to the decision
makers of the business.
You may want to report your findings in
the market analysis section of your
business plan.
You may want to familiarize your sales
and marketing departments with the data
or conduct a companywide informational
training seminar using the information.
42. Assess Available Information
Assess the information that is immediately
available.
You may have the information you need to
support your marketing plan without doing
extensive market research.
Weigh the cost of gathering more information
against its potential usefulness.
43. Gather Additional Information
Before considering surveys or
field experiments, look at
currently held information:
Sales records
Complaints
Receipts
Other records that show where
customers live and work, and
how and what they buy.
44. Additional Information Cont.
Credit records are an excellent source of
information. They give information about:
Customers' jobs
Income levels
Marital status
Employees may be the best source of information
about customer likes and dislikes.
They hear customers' minor gripes about the store or
service - the ones customers don't think important enough
to take to the owner.
Employees are aware of the items customers request that
you do not stock.
They often can supply good customer profiles from their
day-to-day contacts.
