Quantitative data collection efforts are standardized in order to eliminate inconsistencies or errors in interpretation. Because it is possible to collect responses from large groups of participants and statistically analyze amassed responses, these types of studies can aid in forecasting. Commonly employed techniques include:
- Attitudes and awareness
Advertising or other promotional activity (e.g. public relations) whose primary purpose is to increases general knowledge of the company, and to make people feel more positive towards it - Brand positioning
Positioning is how a product appears in relation to other products in the market - Price elasticity
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of a change in demand for a product following a change in its own price - Perceptual mapping and positioning
A graphics representation of the perceived relationships among elements in a set, where the elements could be brands, services, or product categories. - Mall intercept
A survey conducted in a retail area that involves approaching shoppers and asking them to participate.
