1 Primary vs Secondary Tools

Market research tools can be divided into two main categories: primary and secondary. Primary tools are those that help you gather data directly from your target audience, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, or observations. Secondary tools are those that help you access data that has been collected by others, such as reports, databases, publications, or websites. Depending on your research questions, you may need to use both types of tools, or focus on one more than the other.

The distinction between primary tools, which involve direct interaction with the target audience, and secondary tools, which rely on pre-existing data, offers clarity in strategy formulation. It underscores the importance of understanding research questions thoroughly to determine the most suitable approach. Whether leveraging surveys, interviews, or databases, or a combination thereof, tailoring tool selection to research objectives ensures the collection of robust and relevant data.

Secondary research works when you want quick results and have a low budget. Check to make sure the secondary research is not too dated. Primary research works when you have a very specific business problem, launching a new product or trying tackle decreasing sales or even Customer satisfaction. Secondary research works well when you are building a case for a new product idea or trying to get evidence for your narrative.

Several market research tools cater to diverse business needs. For quantitative analysis, platforms like SurveyMonkey or Google Forms allow for easy survey creation and data collection. Qualitative insights can be gathered using focus groups facilitated by services like FocusVision or Zoom. Social media listening tools such as Brandwatch or Hootsuite help monitor online conversations. Additionally, industry reports from sources like IBISWorld or Statista offer valuable market data and trends.

2 Online vs Offline Tools

Another way to classify market research tools is by their mode of delivery: online or offline. Online tools are those that use digital platforms and channels to collect or access data, such as web-based surveys, social media analytics, online communities, or search engines. Offline tools are those that use traditional methods and media to collect or access data, such as paper surveys, phone interviews, face-to-face focus groups, or print publications. Online tools tend to be faster, cheaper, and more scalable, but offline tools may offer more depth, quality, and reliability.

3 DIY vs Professional Tools

A third way to categorize market research tools is by their level of complexity and expertise: do-it-yourself (DIY) or professional. DIY tools are those that you can use on your own, without the need for specialized skills or external assistance, such as online survey platforms, free data sources, or simple analysis software. Professional tools are those that require more advanced knowledge or support from experts, such as statistical software, paid data sources, or market research agencies. DIY tools can save you money and time, but professional tools can provide more accuracy and insight.

4 Qualitative vs Quantitative Tools

A fourth way to differentiate market research tools is by their type of data and analysis: qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative tools are those that help you explore the opinions, feelings, and motivations of your target audience, such as open-ended surveys, in-depth interviews, or ethnographic studies. Quantitative tools are those that help you measure the behaviors, preferences, and characteristics of your target audience, such as closed-ended surveys, experiments, or numerical data. Qualitative tools can help you understand the why and how of your research problem, but quantitative tools can help you test the what and how much.

5 Choosing the Right Tools

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for market research tools. You need to consider your research objectives, budget, timeline, and resources before selecting the tools that suit your needs. You also need to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each tool, and how they complement each other. For example, you may want to use a combination of primary and secondary tools, online and offline tools, DIY and professional tools, and qualitative and quantitative tools to get a comprehensive and balanced view of your research topic.
