Survey Says: The Importance of Survey Data in Marketing

 

Survey data can help you understand who uses your products and services and why. Using this data to inform your marketing can improve your budget. 

 

This is where CONSUMER SURVEYS INTERNATIONAL comes in.

 

There’s nothing more important than the opinion of the masses when it comes to marketing. After all, without the approval and buy-in of the public, it would be hard to get any product or concept off the ground.

 

But when it comes to getting these opinions, companies are becoming spoiled with choices. Do you go with the latest tech to help you check digital analytics? Do you set up a complicated system to prevent behavioral data? Or do you go with the old stalwart of any research company – surveys?

 

Although surveys may not be seen in print anymore, they remain paramount for all kinds of research. In addition, survey data and collection is alive and well online and can make a massive difference in the success of a brand.

 

Although some may consider surveys tedious and too difficult to parse data, survey research can introduce your company to a wealth of knowledge that helps you create a winning product. In addition, survey data and collection are not only accessible but can be invaluable in informing a solid marketing strategy.

 

Why surveys matter

 

In this high-tech era of analytics, customer satisfaction surveys sound almost quaint. Even with all the technology that allows marketing and research companies to find out exactly what consumers want and get precise customer feedback, sometimes it’s still best to go straight to the desired population and ask the question yourself. Suppose you’re looking for more decisive insights. In that case, you can append survey research data with behavioral data for an excellent overall view of how your customers think (their opinions or suggestions) versus how they act (what they tend to click on or buy online).

 

It’s not just small companies that use survey data to enhance their offerings. The importance of surveys is not lost on large-scale organizations, which frequently gather feedback via surveys to fine-tune their products. According to SurveyPolice, Apple, Verizon, Nest, and other big tech companies use market research and customer satisfaction surveys to find out what their customer base wants. And it doesn’t stop at the tech industry: LEGO and McDonald’s are also top organizations that use survey data to grow.
