 Respondents are recruited through a screener
questionnaire
 Lasts about 2 hours
 Always taped or videotaped to assist analysis
 Often held in front of two-way mirrors
 Online focus groups are growing

Description
Word
Associations
The researcher has a list of words, some of them to be studied and some
just as filler. The researcher asks the respondent(s) to react, one-at-a
time, to each word by stating or (in a focus group setting) writing on a
pad the first word that comes to mind, and to explain the link.
Sentence
Completion
The researcher has a series of incomplete sentences that the
respondent(s) needs to complete with a word or phrase.
Photo/Visual
for
Storytelling
The researcher creates/selects a series of photos of consumers, different
brands or products, range of print ads, etc., to serve as stimuli. The
respondents are asked to discuss or tell a story based on their response
to a photo or some other visual stimulus.
Role Playing Is quite similar to storytelling; however, instead of telling a story, the
participant(s) will be given a situation and asked to act out the role(s),
often with regard to a product or brand, or particular selling situation.
Qualitative Collection Method
Metaphor Analysis
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Two 際際滷 22
 Based on belief that metaphors are the most
basic method of thought and communication
 Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique
(ZMET) combines collage research and
metaphor analysis to bring to the surface the
mental models and the major themes or
constructs that drive consumer thinking and
behavior.
Qualitative Collection Method
Looking-In
 Look at information from threads and postings
on social media, including blogs and
discussion forums
 Methodology to capture consumers
experiences, opinions, forecasts, needs, and
interests

Data Collection Methods
Observational Research
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Two 際際滷 25
 Helps marketers gain an in-depth
understanding of the relationship between
people and products by watching them buying
and using products
 Helps researchers gain a better understanding
of what the product symbolizes
Data Collection Methods
Mechanical Observational Research
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Two 際際滷 26
 Uses mechanical or electronic device to
record consumer behavior or response
 Consumers increased use of highly
convenient technologies will create more
records for marketers
 Audits are a type of mechanical observation
which monitor sales
Data Collection Methods
Experimentation
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Chapter Two 際際滷 27
 Can be used to test the relative sales appeal of
many types of variables
 An experiment is usually controlled with only
some variables manipulated at a time while
the others are constant
 Test markets are conducted on a single
market area
 Experimentation can be conducted in
laboratories or in the field
Discussion Questions
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Chapter Two 際際滷 28
 What might direct marketers test in
experiments?
 How can they use the results?

Validity and Reliability
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Two 際際滷 30
 If a study has validity, it collects the
appropriate data for the study.

asked of a similar sample, produce the same
findings.

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Two 際際滷 33
 Samples are a subset of the population used
to estimate characteristics of the entire
population.
 A sampling plan addresses:
 Whom to survey
 How many to survey
 How to select them
 Researcher must choose probability or
nonprobabililty sample.
Data Analysis and Reporting Findings
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Two 際際滷 34
 Open-ended questions are coded and
quantified.
 All responses are tabulated and analyzed.
 Final report includes executive summary,
body, tables, and graphs.
