QUANTITATIVE VERSUS QUALITATIVE INFORMATION - WHICH IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR NEEDS?
Quantitative Research
Quantitative research is the systematic collection and analysis of numeric data — from a subset of your target audience — to test hypotheses and potentially draw conclusions about the question(s) at hand.
Qualitative Research
Qualitative research aims to uncover insights, surrounding the how and why behind strategic decision-making and individual action, through in-depth exploration of behaviors, attitudes, values/motivations and preferences of your target audience.
