Market Research Company
There is confusion and constant debate on the
similarity and differences between Market
Research and Marketing Research Companies. These
2 terms are very often used interchangeably. A
Market Research Company focusses only on Market
Intelligence, specifically. It focusses on the
targeted Market for the placement of the product,
collect data about it, measure trends and analyse
the demand and supply etc. Whereas, a Marketing
Research Company tries to get a holistic view of
the Markets, Consumers, channels of Marketing,
processes, etc keeping in mind the 4Ps of
Marketing- Product, Price, Place and Promotion.
It aids in the strategic decisionmaking about the
product and brand positioning systematic
deployment of these strategies and step-wise
implementation of them through a well-analysed
and scientific approach. Thus, if an
organisation is trying to define an overall
strategy on its products and services, be it new
product development or the old product
re-launches it has to have a good Marketing
Research Company with an embedded strength of
Market research
