1.  Quantitative market research is about
describing things with numbers.
2.  Surveys are the most common tool in
quantitative market research.
3.  We normally need to be able to generalise
from a sample to a population.
4.  Surveys need to use questions that people
are willing and able to answer.

1.  Qualitative research is about understanding
not measuring.
2.  The most common qualitative tool is the
focus group, followed by depth interviews.
3.  But, there are many more qualitative
methods.
4.  Qual does not seek an objective truth, it
seeks a useful explanation.
