If you are still wondering why you should consider online research in these unprecedented times, here are some reasons you might want to consider:

1. Affordable and timely data

Being able to identify market trends and respond to them in a timely manner is the key to success. One of the greatest benefits of online research is that it provides an affordable and reliable way to gather information from the target audience in no time. With the growth of online technology, it is possible to reach a diverse range of audience in a short span of time. This becomes more relevant when trying to reach a wider sample, making the research not just faster but also cost-effective, without burning a huge hole in the pocket.

2. A better understanding of your client’s business and their customers

One of the biggest challenges faced by agencies is that clients come to them with a planning requirement, without clearly defining the targeting parameters. They have some information but turn to agencies for meaningful insights. At this moment, if agencies can provide data supported answers to client’s questions, the chances of their creative recommendations becoming more fruitful will soar.

Online market research helps you map out the full profile of your client’s ideal customer and, which once identified, enables you to create effective tailored marketing campaigns to persuade them. With a clear understanding of real time market requirements, you are able to generate better ideas backed by deep insights, along with earning your client’s respect and trust.

3. Identifying problems before they happen

Effective online market research not only helps save your client’s efforts and money but also lets you predict some of the pitfalls that can occur. By being able to gather quick information from the respondents, you can evaluate the odds better and steer the clients in the right direction. Your solution then can be designed to be a proper market fit, saving time, money and energy vested by your clients.

4. Selective targeting and more flexibility

For research to truly serve its purpose, it should be an ideal representation of your client’s potential customers. Many a times, companies may also use a blind method, by which a random sample of the population is contacted for opinions. Online research can help you pre-screen participants and allow only those who match your target profile to complete the survey. Not just this, due to the combination of a database of respondents and tools to connect with them, it offers flexibility to engage with them in real time as well as follow them over time to build a bigger picture of their lives.

5. Competitive edge

In this competitive landscape, it is important to stand out. Without research, you are just another agency with opinions and ideas. Online market research helps you assess the current market landscape and identify your strengths and weaknesses. Combining historical company knowledge with research on the current landscape helps, you identify new and innovative ways to reach the customers and respond to them in the most efficient way.
