Gather relevant data and information to solve marketing challenges
What is Marketing Research?
The American Marketing Institute defines marketing research as “the process or set of processes that links the producers, customers and end users to the marketer through information used to identify and define marketing opportunities and problems; generate, refine and evaluate marketing actions; monitoring marketing performance and improve understanding of marketing as a process.
Marketing research specifies the information required to address these issues, designs the method for collecting information, manages and implements the data collection process, analyses the results and communicates the findings and their implications.”
