How to Conduct Market Research on Creately?
- Start by defining the goals of your marketing project. This will help you identify the questions which you will attempt to answer through research and keep you focused throughout the process.
- Identify the market research method you need to use to gather the relevant data. For example you could use surveys, interviews or focus groups.
- At the same time determine where and when you are going to do your research, who will participate, questions you will be asking and the data analysis methods you’ll be using etc.
- Prepare a research instrument necessary to carry out the research. In a survey, your research instrument would be a questionnaire.
- Collect data. You can neatly organize the data using mind maps, affinity diagrams, SWOT diagrams etc. These will help you identify themes or patterns in the information.
- Analyze the data you have gathered. Use Creately’s real-time collaboration features to get the input of your remote employees or stakeholders in reviewing the diagrams you have made.
- Once you have summarized the data using diagrams, present and share them with the relevant stakeholders.
- You can download the diagrams as SVG, PNG, JPEG, or PDF to add them to your presentations or documents or embed them in a website or blog using the Creately viewer.
