How to Ensure Your Market Research Drives Real Business Growth?
Feb 11, 2024
How to transform Insights in to Action?
I hate it when valuable research filled with insights, goes to waste and unimplemented. After all, why go through the trouble of digging deep and uncovering valuable knowledge if it doesn't lead to real, tangible change? To avoid it, I follow this set of principles when conducting research for my clients.
After all, it's not just about gathering data; it's about ensuring that the insights lead to action.
🔍 Identify Core Issues 🔍
Clarify growth objectives
I love data and can easily swept away by what is interesting, so before diving deep, I always ask, 'What are we trying to solve, and how a market research can help achieve our growth goals?’ This clarity guides every step that follows, ensuring that the efforts are meaningful and directed.
Choose the right research method
The diversity of tools available for market research, such as surveys, customer reviews, and analytics platforms offers a rich arsenal for uncovering the insights crucial for marketing growth. I like using tools like Revuze, SurveyMonkey, SimplyDirect, and others. Each has its unique strengths, tailored to different aspects of our quest for knowledge.
💥 Making Research Actionable 💥
Translate insights into growth strategies
The next step? Make it impossible to ignore! The report should not only provide findings but also act as a guide for innovation, highlighting key points and outlining clear next steps.
Make it accessible & memorable
People's attention span is short, as we all know. Our research must be engaging and breathe life into the organization. From data analysts to creative thinkers, I keep my target audience in mind, to ensure the research engages everyone with visuals, videos, and digestible content.
🚀 Drive Real Change 🚀
Implement data-driven marketing initiatives
Ultimately, my goal is to ensure that the research doesn't just sit on a shelf but becomes a catalyst for action. It's about making data a driving force behind decision-making, pushing the organization forward.
As the saying goes (thanks to the CEO of NetSpace), "If we have data, let's use data. If all we have are opinions, let's use mine." It's time to bring data to the forefront, making it the star of our strategic decisions.
From pain to joy
The journey from conducting market research to seeing it come alive in the organization is a challenging one. But, the joy of seeing your hard work not just recognized, but utilized to drive real change, is incomparable. It's not just about doing research; it's about creating a source of informed decision-making.
Let's not let our research gather dust. Let's make it the cornerstone of our growth & innovation transformation.
