Das Salz in der Suppe für die Qualitative Marktforschung

Ende Januar 2018 besuchte Ilka Kuhagen wieder die QRCA Konferenz, diesmal in Phoenix Arizona, um von den Kollegen auf der anderen Seite des Atlantik zu lernen und neue Anregungen zu bekommen. Hier ist eine kurze Zusammenfassung ihrer Erkenntnisse:
Dieses Jahr stand ganz im Zeichen der neuen Technologien, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual und Augmented Reality, Webstreaming, Online und Mobile Plattformen – immer noch mehr und immer noch bessere Möglichkeiten wurden vorgestellt. Viele Anbieter von Technologie für qualitative Forschung kamen nach Phoenix und ermöglichten das direkte hands-on Ausprobieren. Die Vorträge beschäftigten sich mit Behavioural Econimics, Segmentierung mittels Semiotics oder Buyer Personas, neuen Methoden und projektiven Verfahren, Aufbau von Kunden-Communities, und natürlich auch mit den neuen Technologien und deren passendem Einsatz.

Meine drei wichtigsten Erfahrungen, die ich mit nach Deutschland bringe sind

Design Research, CX, UX, Usability Expertise – Ein interessanter Vortrag eines Start-ups aus Silicon Valley: Junge und innovative Unternehmen betreiben häufig in-house selbst Forschung für ihre neuen Produkte mit ethnographischen Interviews, Patienten-/Nutzerbeobachtung, shop-alongs, sogar Gruppendiskussionen und Konzepttests bis hin zum Test einer Werbebotschaft oder der Kundenzufriedenheit. Dieselben Methoden, die qualitative Forscher nutzen, allerdings verstanden im Rahmen der gesamten Produktentwicklung begleitend als Prozess, und oft auch gepaart als Quant/Qual-Studie. Der neue Begriff dafür: User Experience Research. Genau das muss die qualitative Marktforschung in Zukunft leisten können.
Neue Ansätze fürs Recruiting: Qualitative Marktforschung lebt von guten Probanden. Dabei bedeutet gut nicht professionell sondern passende und ehrliche Teilnehmer. Ein guter Moderator erkennt in den ersten Minuten den Unterschied, wo aber findet man heute die Probanden für spezielle und ausgefallene Nutzergruppen? Panels sind hier nur selten zielführend. Neue kreative Verfahren für die Rekrutierung gehen über Social Media und nutzen nicht nur Facebook und Xing, sondern auch viele andere apps wie Tinder, Couch Surfing oder ähnliches. Alternativ geht der Forscher dorthin wo diese Zielgruppe zu finden ist, ins Krankenhaus oder in die Reha-Klinik. Tory Gentes zeigte einducksvolle Beispiele für das Rekrutieren schwierigster Patientengruppen.
Lebendigere Berichte: Der klassische Bericht mit Dokumentation von Insights wird abgelöst durch Berichte in Form von Fotoalben und Videoreportage. Jim Berling von Burke zeigte ausdrucksstarke Beispiele. Susan Abbott stellte eine digitale Berichtsplattform vor, die Kunden den Zugriff auf alle Untersuchungsergebnisse und Materialen erlaubt. Storytelling nicht nur im Rahmen des Interviews, sondern auch für den Kunden.

Rosa MontanteProject ManagerXerox Business Research

When Rebecca first proposed her Think Global colleagues for a multi-country project, I was concerned about using independent researchers in each country that were not as familiar with our business needs and our internal corporate culture. However, after a series of discussions and conference calls between all research firms, the actual execution of the plan was seamless. I not only experienced personal attention from the principal in each country, but each principal flawlessly aided in nav…

Sarah ShoemakerPresidentInnovative Zap

Ilka did a fantastic job with our focus groups around employee recognition in Frankfurt and Munich. Employee recognition is an usual topic to conduct focus groups on, but Ilka was able to pick up the topic very quickly and identify the areas to ask follow-up questions around. She was confident and experienced and clearly knew what she was doing. She was able to get us detailed information without us having to ask additional questions, and she was able to earn the attendees’ trust. Ilka…

Christina ChauO.C.Tanner Company

Thank you very much for the eciting focus groups in Frankfurt am Main. As an engineering company it is extremely important to us to collaborate with an institute such as IKM, which can grasp the complexity of the products in our market and competently leads the discussions. I felt extremely well looked after during our first project together.

Ullrich WildingHead of Marketing Informationmanroland AG

We are looking at the bulletins and are fascinated. The results nicely fit into the observations of the focus groups and our meetings – while giving an even more differentiated perspective on our customers’ opinions (everyone ‘gets a say’ and can phrase considerate responses). As you notice: I have become a fan of this method straight away.
