Marketing research studies often provide answers to the wrong questions. Information is generated that while perhaps interesting, does not lead to marketing actions. Further, many companies fail to use the results of their studies to their fullest because they lack a process for doing so.
This seminar will provide the tools necessary for developing insightful and action-oriented research objectives as well as explore techniques for putting the results into action. And, important to companies of any size, it will illustrate how research suppliers price their studies and set forth guidelines for getting more out of the funds that are now being invested in marketing research.
