\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you stay on the line with this representative to offer up your two cents, you\u2019re participating in market research. Market research uses economic trends, along with statistical analysis of consumers, to create guidelines for approaching different markets with different products.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outbound market research campaigns have several distinct benefits, which small and mid-level businesses have taken advantage of for decades.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

1. Retain Customers <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Market research is used for quality assurance purposes, and to successfully redirect campaigns to recapture revenue.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This can take the form of questionnaires (like in the scenario above) to gather data and gauge your consumer base\u2019s sentiment. It can also include proactive sales calling to current subscribers and customers \u2013 to make sure their details and desired subscription status is up to date.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, AnswerNet saw success in assisting Farm Journal Media, the nation\u2019s leading agricultural publishing company, retain subscribers. Agents in Webster City, Iowa were able to confirm subscriptions and upsell to existing Farm Journal aficionados, retaining and increasing an existing revenue stream. While on the line, the agents also conducted live surveys with the subscribers to build out a smarter database and hone their target market.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t underestimate the value of leveraging your existing customer\u2019s experiences and impressions of your product. Your customers are typically your best-informed stakeholders. Understanding their relationship to what you offer is critical to strategizing your brand as your company\u2019s story continues to unfold.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

2. Understand the Market Landscape<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Market research broadly falls into two categories: primary market research, and secondary market research.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With primary market research, researchers gather new data; points that did not exist in the database already. This research happens via surveys, interviews, and questionnaires.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Secondary market research comprises putting together existing data to compose hypotheses, or using such data to support theories, strategies, and the like \u2013 regarding your target market.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the case of Farm Journal media and AnswerNet, a blend of the two styles was cleverly deployed. Existing markets were tuned into, and existing customers who were statistically engaged were the first to be targeted in the call-campaign. Building on the existing market\u2019s responses, primary research was conducted by asking new questions to gather new data points.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Either style of research is going to give you a sense of what you\u2019re dealing with, both when it comes to the clientele you\u2019ve created through your product and branding, and to the direction to take going forward. If you wish to entice new markets, or extract more value from the markets you\u2019re already targeting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Reach Your Specific Audience<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Want more clarity on which market to target? Get deeper insight into the end-to-end customer experience that your company provides.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marketing strategies can often feel like a gamble. And, given the unpredictability of markets \u2013 based on constantly changing cultural sentiments \u2013 they often are. Research surveying can greatly benefit you in collecting the data that your team needs to create better-informed strategies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using social media to conduct surveys gives you insight into which socials your target market is most actively engaged with, along with the data they provide. Consumer demographics like your average user\u2019s age, gender, income, and lifestyle choices can be gleaned from surveys \u2013 absolutely crucial information for strategizing how to target your market.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A well orchestrated blend of calling campaigns and social campaigns can give you a landscape of customer data to work with. Of course, your product may predominantly appeal to consumers who aren\u2019t into social media. Or in the rare cases they\u2019re using social media, they\u2019re not using it to interact with brands. In this case, phone outreach is your go-to.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Small Surveys, Big Benefits <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No matter how brief or informal, if you\u2019re tracking user behavior, responses and sentiments, you\u2019re actively conducting market research.<\/p>\n
