Qualitative research is often used to understand market dynamics and identify potential opportunities by discovering challenges and pain points of an audience, or to obtain initial reactions to early-stage concept idea, or to add a depth of understanding to a target, market, or situation.

Advantages of Qualitative Methods

  • Provides rich, in-depth details, respondents can be asked to elaborate
  • Flexible and Fluid, and not limited to rigid, predefined response categories
  • Observation-based, uncovers the human experience
