How do you complete market research effectively?

Know what you want

Start by defining your research goal. Are you looking to understand customer satisfaction, gauge interest in a new product, or spot market trends? Clear objectives will help you craft questions that yield meaningful answers.

Find your people

You can use Zoho Survey’s Research panel to narrow down your exact audience. Tailor your survey to fit this group for the best responses.

Ask the right questions

Crafting your survey is an art. Use a mix of multiple-choice, Likert scale, and open-ended questions to get a blend of quantifiable data and deeper insights. Keep questions clear and concise, and keep the survey short to maintain engagement.

Choose your channel

Survey your audience online for broad reach, by email for direct targeting, in-person for immediate feedback, or by telephone for a personal touch. Promote surveys via social media, emails, and pop-ups. Offer incentives like discounts to boost participation.
