What were the objectives of the retail store survey?
The survey addressed several core objectives for the retail store.
The market research objectives included collecting feedback and data on:
- Changing business models
- Inventory needs and options
- Customer expectations
- Awareness of services
- In-store experience
Our online survey company also addressed other primary and secondary objectives of the market research.
The outcomes of the market research aided our retail store client with operations, marketing, and strategy.
What was the approach to the retail store survey?
To address the objectives at-hand, our retail market research company recommended using an online survey.
While there are various market research options for retail stores, Drive Research recommended a quantitative survey because they are cost-effective and gather quick, quality feedback.
The benefits of an online survey prove to offer a greater return-on-investment compared to other retail market research methodologies such as intercept surveys and mystery shopping.
Retail Store Online Survey Details
The survey took an average of 10 minutes to complete and included 41 questions. The survey received 106 responses.
Fieldwork for the survey began on November 16 and lasted until December 1, 2020.
With a probabilistic sample, a total of 106 responses at the 95% confidence level offers a 10% margin of error.
If the online retail survey were conducted with another random pool of 106 respondents, the results would yield within +10% or -10% of the stated totals in the reports.
