Can consumer research be conducted worldwide?

Written by: Paul Stallard


Simple answer to this question is yes. Consumer research can be conducted anywhere with an online presence or telephone connection can be reached.

That said, many people get it wrong because global research is not always the easiest to conduct. Translations, demographic targeting and IT reliance can all increase risk and cost.

Online surveys often work well but if you are looking for more qualitative research, other methods should be considered. These include contacting the audience via telephone or conducting face to face interviews. Always ask your market research agency how they would recommend getting the best results, and not just the easiest/cheapest.

I personally believe that global research campaigns present a welcome challenge and help make the job interesting. Through consumer research Arlington Research can help you explore people’s thoughts and opinions, dreams and fears, loves and hates.
