Advice from insights and market research leaders
Here are some common mistakes and best practices for how to avoid them.
Common mistakes
Looking for ways to gain compelling customer insights? Here are some things to avoid:
Being biased
Try not to ask leading questions. You want to collect unbiased insight into how people really think. Similarly, don’t just rely on loyal customers for feedback. Go broader and reach a representative sample of your target buyer.
Using jargon or language that could be misinterpreted
Instead, aim for clarity and choose clearly defined and well-understood terms so that you get unbiased responses.
Cherry-picking your findings
Confirming only known or familiar insights while ignoring new trends will lead to biased insights and decisions.
Best practices
Want to know what insights managers and market researchers suggest? Check out these tips:
Recruit participants from your target audience to generate insights
Not every user’s opinion is equally important. Survey the right audience based on specific criteria and business objectives to give you the most relevant insights.
Communicate learnings broadly and frequently
Show the impact of your research by sharing your knowledge consistently across your organisation. By bringing visibility to what prospects are saying, you can rally your partners for greater impact.
Measure and track data over time
A snapshot is good, but understanding consumer trends over time is even better. Make sure you’re keeping tabs on your target audience’s attitudes and behaviours.
