Introduction

Discovering why they chew.

Juicy Fruit Gum, the oldest brand of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, was not chewing up the teen market, gum’s top demographic. In 1997, the company found itself under pressure from competitors. Sales and market share were down. How could Wrigley make more kids chomp on Juicy Fruit? What qualities about Juicy Fruit might appeal to teens? Wrigley went to the source to find out. It found kids who chew five sticks or more of Juicy Fruit each week and promptly gave them a homework assignment. Find pictures that remind them of the gum and write a short story about it. From the focus group, Wrigley learned that teens chew Juicy Fruit because it is sweet. It refreshes and energizes them.

Their ad agency, BBDO, confirmed what the teens were saying. BBDO asked more than 400 heavy gum chewers to rate various brands by attributes that best represented them. For Juicy Fruit, respondents picked phrases such as “has the right amount of sweetness” and “is made with natural sweetness”. Another study by BBDO looked into why teens chew gum. Was it because they are stressed out—or because they forgot to brush their teeth before going to school? Nearly three out of four kids said they stick a wad into their mouth when they crave something sweet. And Juicy Fruit was the top brand they chose to fulfill that need (Big Red was a distant second).

Although the marketing research conducted by the Wrigley Co. was fairly simple, it provided a new direction for their marketing strategy. BBDO developed four TV commercials with the “Gotta Have Sweet” theme. Roughly 70 per cent of respondents voluntarily recalled the Juicy Fruit name after watching the commercial (the average recall for a brand of sugar gum is 57 per cent). Sales of 100-stick boxes of Juicy Fruit rose 5 per cent after the start of the ad campaign, reversing a 2 per cent decline prior to it. Juicy Fruit’s market share also increased from 4.9 per cent to 5.3 per cent, the biggest gain of any established chewing gum brand during the year following the campaign.

Marketing research addresses the need for quicker, yet more accurate, decision making by the marketer. The impetus for this situation is the complex relationship between the business firm and the ever-changing external environment. In particular, most marketers are far removed from their customers; yet most know who their customers are, what they want, and what competitors are doing. Often the marketer relies on salespeople and dealers for information, but more and more the best source of information is marketing research.

It should be noted that most marketing decisions are still made without the use of formal marketing research. In many cases, the time required to do marketing research is not available. In other cases, the cost of obtaining the data is prohibitive or the desired data cannot be obtained in reliable form. Ultimately, successful marketing executives make decisions on the basis of a blend of facts and intuition.

Marketing research is applicable throughout the marketing planning process. It is a very exciting field that allows organizations to make strategic decisions to achieve their objectives. Taking the time to research the environment, the competition, and most importantly, the target market, allows a marketer to make well-informed decisions. Marketing research can be conducted in all sizes and types of organizations. While resources may be limited, there are many credible sources of information that are free or inexpensive to access.

In this chapter, we are going to explore the marketing research process. Before getting into the process, let’s discuss some of the potential issues or hurdles a marketer might face.

Potential Issues

There are two main hurdles that can get in the way of effective research within an organization: a sense of urgency, and resource allocation

  • Sense of Urgency: While some research can be ‘looked up’ fairly quickly, good quality research takes time. Marketers or others within an organization, may want to move on decision making quickly without taking the time to do proper research. This becomes more prevalent when decision makers use ‘what works for me’ or ‘what I like’ to make decisions regarding the target market.
  • Resource Allocation: Marketing research can be expensive. When requesting approval for the expenditure, a researcher may experience resistance as the research cannot guarantee a specific return on the investment.

Figure 4.5: The marketing planning process

Marketing research addresses the need for quicker, yet more accurate, decision making by the marketer. The impetus for this situation is the complex relationship between the business firm and the ever-changing external environment. In particular, most marketers are far removed from their customers; yet most know who their customers are, what they want, and what competitors are doing. Often the marketer relies on salespeople and dealers for information, but more and more the best source of information is marketing research.

It should be noted that most marketing decisions are still made without the use of formal marketing research. In many cases, the time required to do marketing research is not available. In other cases, the cost of obtaining the data is prohibitive or the desired data cannot be obtained in reliable form. Ultimately, successful marketing executives make decisions on the basis of a blend of facts and intuition.

The nature and importance of marketing research

Informal and, by today’s standards, crude attempts to analyze the market date back to the earliest days of the marketing revolution. Only in recent years, however, has the role of research as it relates to management been clearly recognized.

Reflecting this change in orientation, the following definition of marketing research is offered: marketing research is the scientific and controlled gathering of non-routine marketing information undertaken to help management solve marketing problems. There is often hearty disagreement over the answer to the question of whether marketing research is a science. One’s answer depends on the employed definition of “science”. To be specific, a research activity should use the scientific method. In this method, hypotheses (tentative statements of relationships or of solutions to problems) are drawn from informal observations. These hypotheses are then tested. Ultimately, the hypothesis is accepted, rejected, or modified according to the results of the test. In a true science, verified hypotheses are turned into “laws”. In marketing research, verified hypotheses become the generalizations upon which management develops its marketing programs. (To simplify our discussion, we will use “questions” as a synonym of “hypothesis”.)

The mechanics of marketing research must be controlled so that the right facts are obtained in the answer to the correct problem. The control of fact-finding is the responsibility of the research director, who must correctly design the research and carefully supervise its execution to ensure that it goes according to plan. Maintaining control in marketing research is often difficult because of the distance that separates the researcher and the market and because the services of outsiders are often required to complete a research project.

What needs researching in marketing?

An easy, and truthful, answer to this question is “everything”. There is no aspect of marketing to which research cannot be applied. Every concept presented in this marketing text and every element involved in the marketing management process can be subjected to a great deal of careful marketing research. One convenient way to focus attention on those matters that especially need researching is to consider the elements involved in marketing management. Many important questions relating to the consumer can be raised. Some are:

• Who is/are the customer(s)?

• What does he/she desire in the way of satisfaction?

• Where does he/she choose to purchase?

• Why does he/she buy, or not buy?

• When does he/she purchase?

• How does he/she go about seeking satisfaction in the market?

Another area where research is critical is profits. Two elements are involved. First, there is the need to forecast sales and related costs—resulting in profits. Second, there is the necessity to plan a competitive marketing program that will produce the desired level of sales at an appropriate cost. Sales forecasting is the principal tool used in implementing the profit-direction element in the marketing management concept. Of course, the analysis of past sales and interpretation of cost information are important in evaluation of performance and provide useful facts for future planning.

A great deal of marketing research is directed toward rather specialized areas of management. These activities are broken down into five major areas of marketing research. Briefly, these activities are:

• research on markets —market trends, market share, market potentials, market characteristics, completion, and other market intelligence

As a business development intern, I work a lot with the marketing team in helping them get the time-consuming, yet necessary research on either specific markets we are entering or potential new clients. For example, I conducted research on the retail market in the Philippines. When I do this kind of research, I look at the market trends, forecasts, and things like the relationship between brick-and-mortar stores vs. online shopping in this case.

Cassidy Lane

• research on sales —sales analysis, sales forecasting, quota-setting, sales territory design, sales performance measurement, trade channels, distribution costs, and inventories • research on products—new product research, product features, brand image, concept tests, product tests, and market tests

When I worked at a retail store, we would forecast our sales for the day based on how much was sold on that day last year and then set our individual quotas based on that information. We would also analyze at the end of the day why we either met or missed our goals. For example, if the weather was bad, that could affect our sales for the day regardless of whether it was a big day the year before. We did a lot of product research, especially on new products, because it made our customers’ experience better if we were able to tell them about why the products were of better quality than others.

• research on advertising and promotion —promotion concepts, copy research, media research, merchandising, packaging, advertising effectiveness measurement

• research on corporate growth and development —economic and technological forecasting, corporate planning inputs, corporate image, profitability measurement, merger and acquisition, and facilities location.

Newsline: How execs use research

Creating and introducing new products is the most important research priority among marketing executives. The Marketing Science Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, surveyed 160 executives from its sponsoring organizations. The executives, representing 60 major consumer and industrial goods and services corporations, were asked to divide 100 points among several research areas.

After successful new product introductions, the executives said that market orientation and customer relationships are the next most important areas. Those issues displaced improving the use of marketing information and measuring brand equity as the second- and third-highest concerns, respectively, in the previous survey.

“The new research priorities indicate that a shift is taking place in marketing practice”, notes Donald Lehmann, executive director of the institute. “Market orientation has taken hold and the increasing power of the consumer is apparent in the movement away from product-driven strategies. Marketers also realize that they need to make choices about who their customers should be and whose needs they are best equipped to meet … and most significantly, they are looking for better ways to anticipate adoption and diffusion of really new products.” said Marni Clippenger, communications director at MSI, “Companies seem to be shifting away from using the brand to really figuring out what customers want.” (11)

Conducting Research in Marketing with Quasi-Experiments

Goldfarb, A., Tucker, C., & Wang, Y. (2022). Conducting research in marketing with quasi-experiments. Journal of Marketing, 86 (3), 1–20. https://doi.org/10.1177/00222429221082977

Chapter Summary

In this chapter, we defined business-to-business (B2B) markets and buying behavior and explored the differences between business-to-consumer (B2C) and B2B markets. We discussed the types of buyers in B2B transactions—producers, resellers, governments, and institutions—and identified the different types of buy classes in the B2B market, as well as the roles of those in the buying center—the people within the organization who have varying influence on the purchase decision.

We examined the five major categories of influencing factors on B2B decisions: external factors, internal factors, organizational factors, interpersonal factors, and conditional factors. We also reviewed the eight stages of the B2B buying process: problem recognition, need description, product specification, supplier search, proposal solicitation, supplier selection, order-routine specification, and performance review. Finally, we explored some ethical issues with respect to the B2B buying process, including Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Marketing research is the set of activities central to all marketing-related decisions regardless of the complexity or focus of the decision. Marketing research is responsible for providing managers with accurate, relevant, and timely information so that they can make marketing decisions with a high degree of confidence. Within the context of strategic planning, marketing research is responsible for the tasks, methods, and procedures a firm will use to implements and direct its strategic plan.


Marketing research is the backbone of any CRM process through the data collection operations of the research process. Specifically, marketing research facilitates the CRM process through the generation of customer/market knowledge, data integration, information technology, and the creation of customer profiles.


The key to successful strategic planning is accurate information. Information related to product performance, distribution efficiency, pricing policies, and promotional efforts is crucial for developing the strategic plan. The primary responsibility of any marketing research endeavor is to design a project that yields the most accurate information possible in aiding the development of a strategic plan.


The scope of marketing research activities extends fat beyond examination of customer characteristics. The major categories of marketing research tasks include, but are not limited to, (1) situation research efforts (which include opportunity assessment, benefit and lifestyle studies, descriptive studies, and importance-performance analysis); (2) strategy-driven research efforts (which include target-market analysis, positioning or perceptual mapping, concept and product testing, and text marketing); (3) program development research (which includes customer satisfaction studies, service quality studies, cycle time research, retailing research , logistic assessment, demand analysis, sales forecasting, advertising effectiveness studies, attitudinal research, and sales tracking); and (4) performance analysis (which includes product analysis, environmental forecasting and marketing decision support systems).


Generally, marketing research projects can be conducted either internally by an in-house marketing research staff or externally by independent or facilitating marketing research firms. External research suppliers are normally classified as custom to standardized, or as brokers or facilitators.


Just as the dynamic business environment causes firms to modify and change practices, so does this environment dictate change to the marketing research industry. Specifically, technological changes will affect how marketing research will be conducted in the future. Necessary skills required to adapt to these changes include (1) the ability to understand and interpret secondary data, (2) presentation skills, (3) foreign-language competency, (4) negotiation skills, and (5) computer proficiency.

The top trends that are shaping the marketing research industry

The Top Trends That Are Shaping The Marketing Research Industry

Researchers must be hyperaware of the emerging trends in the marketing research and insights industry to maintain a connection with consumers and clients. In order to understand how consumers feel about the advancements being made and the change in their behaviors, they must take speed, segmentation and AI into consideration.

The emerging qualitative research trends to consider

Editor’s note: Mary Kay Evans is the chief GTM officer at Alida.

Consumer preferences and behaviors change rapidly, often within hours, requiring researchers to stay alert and adaptable. Researchers know how important it is to gather customer feedback to make business decisions but gathering it fast enough to make timely decisions remains a major challenge.

Earlier this year, we highlighted four trends that researchers should consider for success. After testing, validation and assessment, here is our refreshed list of trends that will shape the latter half of 2024.

1. Go slow to go fast: Speed continues to be king

Research needs to outpace the market. In a world where content spreads rapidly, it’s crucial for brands to quickly access user feedback to determine what’s worth investing in. The key is differentiating between fads and trends. Fads may appear promising but fade quickly, while trends can shape consumer behavior long-term. Customer insights are the only way to identify the difference. While researching to keep up with the market is essential, moving too quickly can compromise the quality of your research and lead to unreliable data. It’s essential to balance speed with thoroughness: go slow to go fast. 

RTL, the Netherlands' leading commercial television network, created a dedicated community of opted-in users to deepen viewer engagement and incorporate audience feedback into their news and talk shows. By displaying QR codes during live broadcasts, RTL was able to engage viewers in real-time. This strategy resulted in nearly instant insights, achieving four times the anticipated engagement and a 67% completion rate. Insights were available on screen within just 20 minutes of collection. 

2. Investing in segmentation

Understanding distinct customer groups remains vital. In addition to customers expecting personalized experiences, the needs, priorities and pains of each customer segment will differ widely from one another. Understanding these differences for each of your segments is pivotal for attracting and retaining those customers.

With companies investing in segmentation, the focus now is on scaling these efforts. Industry-leading research programs have granular segmentation allowing them to target the exact segment they need for any research project.

3. AI is your friend, not your enemy 

A robot and a person holding gears. AI is your friend not your enemy.

Approaching AI with an open mind and a focus on end users can greatly enhance your research efforts. AI can streamline tasks like data analysis, topic extraction and sentiment detection in qualitative data. With AI integration, researchers can shift their focus to strategic priorities like scaling segmentation for deeper insights and optimizing user experiences more effectively than before.

4. Don’t exclusively rely on general population samples

While general population samples can be valuable when entering a new market or expanding into a different customer base, they aren’t very useful for improving products or services for your existing customers. After all, how much benefit does data unrelated to your current customers really bring to inform business growth? In most cases, not much. Although general population research may seem more affordable and convenient, relying on low-quality data can ultimately be more costly.

By recruiting your own users for research, you will get to know so much more about your offering. And because you know more, you can do everything better. By getting those real users, everything else in your research process and business will benefit. You win every time with real users.  

Cabot Creamery, a farm family cooperative, launched a customer community to strengthen connections with its own customer base. Through this initiative, the Cabot market research team was able to consistently gather valuable product feedback, enabling the company to evolve alongside consumer needs. 

Leveraging their community, Cabot initiated a project to assess customer views on sustainability. Surveys and qualitative research revealed an unexpected need for educational outreach on sustainable practices. By engaging directly with verified customers as opposed to the general population, Cabot Creamery gained deeper insights into their customers’ specific needs and preferences. 

Involving real users in qualitative research

In today’s rapidly evolving economic landscape, where every decision and penny counts, engaging with real users and customers is crucial. With consumer behaviors shifting rapidly, relying on general population samples is insufficient. Real user engagement provides more accurate and actionable insights that enable businesses to navigate uncertainty effectively.  

In a competitive and unpredictable market, investing in real user research not only enhances insight quality but also strengthens a company’s ability to make informed decisions and thrive. At the end of the day, the name of the game in modern research is real users.

India stock market regulator under fire again after Hindenburg row

Agency blames employee claims of toxic workplace on 'external elements'

BENGALURU -- India's stock market regulator has been hit by toxic workplace claims, just after U.S. short seller Hindenburg Research accused the agency's chief of conflict-of-interest over her ties to conglomerate Adani Group.

The office culture allegations mark the latest headache for the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which on Wednesday blamed so-called "external elements" for stirring dissent among employees who had complained that abusive managers "set unrealistic targets with changing goal posts."

Private landlords leaving the rental market, new research shows

Private landlords look to be leaving the rental market at a record pace, but will this prove to be a problem or an opportunity for private tenants?

marketing research chapter 4

Private landlords look to be leaving the rental market at a record pace, according to research from the property website Rightmove.

It says rising costs, taxes and legislation are making it more attractive for some landlords to sell up.

But will this prove to be a problem or an opportunity for private tenants?

Landlords leaving

Rightmove says it’s the UK’s biggest property portal, and it’s been combing through homes currently listed on its website.

It’s found that 18% of properties that are now for sale were previously offered for rent.

That 18% share is the highest that Rightmove has seen since it started measuring the number back in 2010 – when the share was just 8%.

And the trend is even more pronounced in London – where 29% of homes for sale were once down as places to rent.

Landlords say this shows a “worsening crisis” in private renting. The National Residential Landlords Association today warned that every rental home that is sold “exacerbates the imbalance between supply and demand.”

And that imbalance has become dramatic in recent years. Rightmove reports that in August there were an average of 19 enquiries for every rental property. That’s better than a year ago, when it was 28! But pre-Covid, it was just 9.

Landlords claim a raft of changes are encouraging landlords to sell up: rising interest rates have pushed up their mortgage payments and there’s speculation they could have to pay more capital gains tax in the future (giving them an incentive to sell their properties now).

marketing research chapter 4

Opportunity?

But could it also bring an opportunity for hard-pressed tenants? Could it mean that some renters could become buyers and snap up those properties that landlords don’t want anymore?

Rightmove says “…these homes could provide first-time buyers with more choice.”

If that happened, it would start to reverse one of the most fundamental changes in the housing market (and UK society) over the last 3 decades.

In the year 2000, 10% of all households in England were private renters. By 2023, that share had nearly doubled to 18.8%.

And as the number of private renters has grown, the number buying their property with a mortgage has shrunk: from just over 42% to just under 30%.

The big question is how many renters are in a position to buy.

Research last month from Hargreaves Lansdown, a private investment company, found that the average rent in Great Britain was ÂŁ1,279 a month.

But it calculated that a person buying a first-time property with a 10% deposit could face a monthly payment of ÂŁ1,208.

That suggests that the gap between renting and borrowing is not huge when it comes to the monthly mortgage payments.

But Hargreaves Lansdown points out that the problem will be the deposit: 10% of the £241,502 average house price for a first time buyer or £24,150. Its research shows that the average rental household has £79 left at the end of the month – so that deposit looks a very big mountain to climb.

Renters rights

Generation Rent, who campaign for renters’ rights, agree that there could be an opportunity for some renters to become buyers and say it would be a fundamental shift from what’s happened over the last 2 decades.

Dan Wilson Craw, their spokesperson, told Channel 4 News it was inevitable that landlords will have to sell up to realise government talk of re-igniting home-ownership. His concern is how that transition happens.

He’s concerned that landlords trying to sell will evict their tenants – so they have an empty property to market. He wants protection against that in Labour’s promised Renters’ Rights Bill.

But his big ask is that the experience of renting should be better – even if you don’t hope to buy one day. He argues for an end to no-fault evictions, but he also wants a system to prevent unaffordable rent increases – linking them to whichever is the lowest of inflation or wage increases.

So both renters and landlords accept there may be some opportunity for a transfer of property.  But the other thing they agree on is that the problems of the housing market are not just about changing the ownership of existing properties. There still needs to be a substantial increase in the number of homes being built – whether to buy or rent.
