Qualitative research tends to focus on the ‘why’ rather than the ‘what’. It usually relates to the experiences of people, and this can vary widely from individual to individual.
Qualitative research methods typically involve interviews, focus groups, observation, questionnaires and case studies. The data that is collected in this type of consumer research is usually non-numerical. It will often be about opinions and emotional responses, rather than ‘yes’ or ‘no’ responses.
When conducting qualitative research, the questions are usually open ended instead of closed. For example, ‘Why would you choose Brand A instead of Brand B?’, would be a question asked in qualitative market research, over ‘Do you buy Brand A?’
Quantitative research is generally about numbers and data. It relates to the kind of data you keep on spreadsheets, and anything that’s recorded as a figure or empirical fact.
This kind of data can easily be compared and measured. It helps to identify trends and patterns, and is often referred to by researchers as ‘quant’ data.
Quantitative market research usually takes the form of surveys, interviews and user-testing, to gain information across a wide base that yields statistical data and trend-based insights.
We are one of the leading qualitative market research companies in the UK, combining innovation with rigorous quality controls and second-to-none client relations in the research industry.
And we have a global reach so we can offer insights that are international or country-specific. We create customized research plans for each of our clients to make sure we deliver the data collection, analytical services and strategic customer insights that you seek.
