Mining the explosion of granular data collected digitally from huge numbers of individual customers

Nielsen / AGB Customer research Shopping surveys Advertising awareness studies Distribution and sales information

Loyalty cards Web analytics Analysis of ISP logs Customer relationship systems E-mail marketing

The power of web analytics Web analytics record actual customer behaviour:  what products customers look at  how often they return to the site  what they purchase  items purchased together  what they don’t purchase  where they drop out From this marketers can determine various customer buying strategies and offer a choice of routes through the site to satisfy those strategies. e.g browsers, price led, product led

It goes beyond web analytics Record, experiment, analyse, model:  Internet

use  TV viewing  Loyalty and spending  Operational databases  Scanner data

Research that will stay and prosper (Ray Poynter - Millward Brown IntelliQuest) 

Qualitative  Online

will grow, but so will ‘real’ qualitative such as ethnographic techniques

New Product Development  Exit interviews  Branded products – Analytical framework  Brand Strategy 

To prosper enormously 

Massive Access Panels, people exchanging their IDs for incentives such as: free telephony  free TV channels  free videos  purchasing points  Cash 

Online qualitative research – International  Database linked research  Longitudinal research 

Techniques that will decline 

Face to face interviewing  Those



that are left may well be WAP enabled

Telephone interviewing  perhaps



moving into customer care

Customer satisfaction  But

not necessarily strategic products

Purchase panels  Segmentation studies 

 move

towards 1-to-1 relationships & profile building

And from the Internet 

Pop-up interviews  people

will increasingly resent being bothered with requests for interviews and browsers will help them avoid the bother  Yahoo does not permit them, even for their own research 

Integrating the approaches – who will drive it? 







Marketing Research Companies – developing expertise in all approaches – through mergers & acquisitions.  Commoditising of basic MR techniques  Value added in branded MR, integration & interpretation Software/IS companies – those driving the technology and its implementation Client companies – setting up ‘Customer Insight’ & ‘Marketing Intelligence’ functions Management Consultants – with ability to supply differentiation in strategic marketing direction – pull in support from whatever source

The search for talent “Our company does not even use the word market research any more, we speak of strategic marketing intelligence” David Smith, Chairman, Incepta Marketing Intelligence “I’m looking forward to working with researchers who are able to synthesise not just the data of their own surveys, but also that of a variety of sources. This could be anything: from hard data and other databases, to anecdotal information. That is a skill that requires the ability to generalise from a great deal of information. You could call it ‘reading between the lines.’ Subjective skills, but ultimately based on very hard research data. Not easy to learn”. Frederic John, MasterCard
