What is marketing research all about?

Marketing research agencies such as BERENT helps manufacturers and marketers identify, understand and meet consumer needs and wants. We help the manufacturers and marketers save consumers money, by providing data to the companies so as to help them reduce the costs associated with, among other things, new product failures and inefficient advertising.

By answering the questions of marketing researchers, consumers make their opinions on products, services and issues known through their direct communications channel with those who have the power to make the changes.

For example: in the olden days you would have asked the village’s shoemaker to make you a pair of new shoes. You could look him in the eyes, and explain face-to-face what features were needed. Today things couldn’t be more different: shoes would be bought without meeting the designer or the person who cut the leather. Only by answering the marketing researchers’ questions, will you generally be able to make your opinions and feelings on products known and thus have influence with the manufacturer.


Why are manufacturers and marketers so concerned about what consumers want?

The answer comes down to “money”. New product development and market launches are a very risky business. Research, properly conducted, significantly reduces the chances of new product failure or inefficient advertising by identifying in advance, elements that do not meet consumer needs or wants.

So, the next time a marketing researcher calls you at home – Try it, participate, it’s your opportunity to voice your opinions in our wonderful fact-finding world!
