Why do marketers LOVE survey data?
3
To try and understand the public's way of thinking.
Often proves a point or opens up a new market
Able to quickly provide feedback to industry decision makers to demonstrate we stay informed and keep them informed.
Concrete data to tell us how our consumers think/feel
Narrows down a wide variety of a group's opinions, habits, and preferences to help give you better direction in making marketing decisions and taking action.
I like statistics and analytics so when I see numbers, it helps me to make, what I think, are better informed decisions.
I love the research and statistics that come out of surveys.
It’s fact. You can make decisions.
Lets us know what the customer wants, otherwise we are making decisions based off of stereotypes, gut reactions, or the past.

Step back

Think about the scientific method
![Page 19: The Secret to a Successful Survey Project: American Marketing Association Conference](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051612/54c66a244a79594b538b47f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Confidential
Remember your 8th grade science fair?
19
• Make an observation • Propose a hypothesis • Design an experiment • Test • Accept or reject the hypothesis • Revise hypothesis or draw conclusions
![Page 20: The Secret to a Successful Survey Project: American Marketing Association Conference](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051612/54c66a244a79594b538b47f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What usually happens after a meeting…

![Page 21: The Secret to a Successful Survey Project: American Marketing Association Conference](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051612/54c66a244a79594b538b47f3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Now, what SHOULD happen after a meeting…
21
Observation Identified a trend for study
Hypothesis Draft your final presentation: blog post, research report, memo, ppt
Design Design a survey that provides the data you need & ONLY the data you need
Test Deploy survey
Accept/Reject
hypothesis Insert findings into draft presentation
Revise/Accept
hypothesis Make business decision
![Page 22: The Secret to a Successful Survey Project: American Marketing Association Conference](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051612/54c66a244a79594b538b47f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
If you try this…
22
• Your project timing/cycle will be much faster • You will have time to do follow up projects
- Or make survey tweaks after you capture initial data • The hard part of your conclusion/presentation
stage is done by the time you start to analyzing • Analysis will be fast
- Short surveys = fewer data points - And, well structured questions!

How will this impact Netflix? 26% of the ‘House of Cards” viewers indicated that original programming was extremely or very important as a subscription retention driver for Netflix.
