Helping Your Clients Understand Theirs: New options for market research for small businesses and non-profits (and others)

Presenter: Jon Siegel

Traditionally market research has been unaffordable for smaller businesses and non-profits. This is rapidly changing as a technological revolution is transforming this industry. ‘Do-it-yourself’ tools like Survey Monkey are only a small part of this transformation. RPCN members are in a unique position to help their clients take advantage of these changes. This talk will describe how technology is changing what smaller businesses and non-profits can do and describe several innovative firms and approaches that you may want to add to your toolbox of resources.

THREE KEY LEARNINGS THE AUDIENCE TAKE AWAY WILL FROM THIS PROGRAM?

1. Ways in which quantitative and qualitative research are being changed by technology
2. Emerging consulting models that small business and non-profits can take advantage of to obtain professional advice in affordable and flexible ways.
3. Understanding the trade-offs between DIY, Do-It-For-Me (DIFM) and Partnering approaches to market research
.

Here is a video in which Jon briefly describes his presentation.
