Expert Topic
Market Research - Qualitative Consumer Insights
Qualitative research is the search for a deeper understanding of human behavior, attitudes, opinions and perceptions.
It is applied in market research by communicating directly with consumers in an effort to understand how and why they are reacting the way they are to a brand or business.
With today's consumers able to share experiences in social media in real time, it is increasingly important to find ways to gauge consumer sentiment quickly – and accurately.
