Business which have “extra information” are more competitive.
The process of developing information through Market Research is becoming more complicated and is greatly enhanced and improved by using advanced telecommunications (e-mail, fax, internet etc.)

•government statistics
•industry reports … and ... Page 76

B. you can hire an outside agency that specializes in Market Research
There are 2 types of outside agencies
1. Full Service Research Supplier
2. Syndicated Service

Marketing Research
There are 2 types of outside agencies
1. Full Service Research Supplier
They will will handle all aspects, conduct interviews, send out questionnaires, do telephone polls etc. and provide a detailed report explaining all aspects of your potential customer base.

6 Steps in the Market Research Process
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 13
Chapter 5
Problem Definition
You have to first know what you are looking for - this is not always so easy.
If your new chocolate bar isn’t selling well, you don’t automatically do market research on the “taste” - because maybe the reason has to do with the packaging.
Page 78
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 14
Chapter 5
Exploratory Research
“Learning about the problem area and beginning to focus on specific areas of study by discussing the problem with informed sources within the firm (a process often called situation analysis) and with knowledgeable others outside the firm (the informal investigation).”
Page 79
Often described as looking before you start looking
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 15
Chapter 5
Exploratory Research
One of the important things to do is review the existing situation to determine how things came to be that way - this is an important part of the Exploratory Research and is one of the reasons why companies hire outside agencies.
It is difficult for a company to “look at itself”
Page 80
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 16
Chapter 5
After the problem has been defined (Step 1), and an exploratory investigation (Step 2) has been conducted,
it is possible to then formulate a Hypothesis (Step 3)
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 17
Chapter 5
“A tentative explanation about the relationship between variables as a starting point for further testing.” TEXT
Hypothesis
The way of thinking about how something works - and using your original “guess” as a starting point for further investigationWTGR

Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 19
Chapter 5
The Research Design should be a plan for testing the Hypothesis.
A series of advance decisions that, taken together, make up a master plan or model for conducting the investigation.

Collecting Data
• Collecting Data is often the expensive stage because it may involve paying people to make telephone calls, or hiring students to takes questionnaires to malls and ask shoppers to answer questions.
• This is time consuming as well as costly
Stage 5

Data being collected for the first time.
Primary Data
Previously produced or published matter.
Secondary Data

External- Government Sourceshttp://WWW.StatCan.CA/english/Pgdb/Economy/econom.htmhttp://WWW.StatCan.CA/english/Pgdb/People/Population/demo05.htm
The Canadian government produces so MUCH data from census and business reports that it is published in report. Some of these reports are free, some can be bought, and some customized information can be bought at a high price.

2. less time
Advantages of Secondary Data
Collecting Data

Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 26
Chapter 5
1. It is usually less expensive than Primary Data - and if the purpose if just to determine a general trend, then for many situations, Secondary Data is O.K.
2. It takes less time to find Secondary Data (compared to doing new studies) and therefore you answer your questions more quickly, and get on with the business.
Advantages of Secondary Data
Collecting Data
Page 84
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 27
Chapter 5
1. Obsolete
2. Fit - relevance
Limitations of Secondary Data
Collecting Data
Page 85
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 28
Chapter 5
1. Obsolete - date it was produced may be old - this is why some companies pay for new Primary Data
2. Fit - relevance. Some Secondary Data is too vague to answer the questions
- therefore you need new Primary Data that is more specific

1. Observation
• overt - watching how customers shop, what they look at, the features they like, asking for postal codes, counting cars- often used to evaluate how good some advertising is
• covert (technical eg. Hidden camera, POP computerized information)

- FOCUS GROUPS are a special type of personal interview• typically 8 ~ 12 people are shown something, then asked for comments• typically used in preparing TV commercials

3. Controlled Experiment
- not used very often due to costs, but sometimes done by people who need to answer difficult questions
- the most common method is test marketing a target market segment, then look at the results and see what works, and what didn’t work

Page 88 ~ 89
3. Controlled Experiment
- Sometimes TEST products are used in cities like Calgary and Winnipeg, and then not followed up, so people there have a chance to use totally new products not available elsewhere
- eg. Winnipeg was the first city to try variable sizes of plastic soft drink bottled
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 35
Chapter 5
Test Marketing
The selection of areas considered reasonably typical of the total market, and introducing a new product to these areas with a total marketing campaign to determine consumer response before marketing the product nationally.

The Data Collection Instrumentor, … “getting the info”
“Most of the work in Data Collection depends on the use of a good questionnaire”
• has to ask questions referring to specific objectives
• should be pre-tested, if it is new, so you can make any changes to the questions

Chapter 5
Population (universe)
• the total group that the researcher wants to study
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 39
Chapter 5
Census
• if the total group is contacted, the results are known as a census (same term as used when the government does a census to get information on the citizens)
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 40
Chapter 5
Probability Sample
• a sample in which every member of the population has a known chance of being selected
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 41
Chapter 5
Nonprobability Sample
• a sample chosen in an arbitrary way so that each member of the population does not have a representative chance to be selected.
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 42
Chapter 5
Convenience Sample
• a sample chosen in an arbitrary way (a nonprobability sample) so that each member of the population does not have a representative chance to be selected. - BECAUSE they just used readily available respondents/participants
•eg. “CityTV on the street interviews”
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 43
Chapter 5
Judgement Sample
• a nonprobability sample of people with a specific attribute.
•eg. “CityTV on the street interviews” of people that DO NOT have political party affiliation - to determine how they voted, and who would win the election
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 44
Chapter 5
Quota Sample
• a nonprobability sample that is divided so that different segments or groups are represented in the total sample.
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 45
Chapter 5
Cluster Sample
• a probability sample that is used in groups
• used when it is difficult to ask everybody, so they pick some areas and ask everybody in that area (cluster)
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 46
Chapter 5
Simple Random Sample
• a probability sample in which everybody has an equal opportunity of being selected.
Sampling Techniques
Page 90
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 47
Chapter 5
Systematic Sample
• every 5th, or every “n”th person is selected. An example is market research people who call every 10th person in the phone book to get an opinion.

Marketing Information Systems
Page 91
For some companies, market knowledge comes in on a regular basis.
Some stuff is “Data”, and some is “Information”
Data = statistics, opinions in surveys, facts, predictions etc.
Information = data RELEVANT to the Marketing Manager in making decisions
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 49
Chapter 5

Page 91
The most important thing is
RELEVANCE
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 50
Chapter 5
Marketing Information Systems
Page 91
The best way to get RELEVANT information is to establish a systematic approach and have a planned Marketing Information System
Prof. Richardson MKTG 116 slide 51

Chapter 5
A set of routine procedures - things you do all the time
to continuously collect, monitor, - always gathering info
and present - give to the boss
internal and external information - inside the company, and from primary and secondary sources
on company performance - how you are doing
and opportunities in the marketplace.
