Daxue Consulting’s vision for market surveys in China

During a market survey, it’s crucial to perfectly select the people who we are going to interview & ask the questions. Besides the way they do the questionnaires, there is also the way they understand the answers and transcribe the answers on paper. This requires a minimum level of university background. That is why we based our business model on three levels of consultants – students, internal consultants, and experts –  which is perfectly adapted to market surveys in China and outperforms the current quality of market surveys currently offered in China.

Moreover, recruiting the relevant consumer profile to answer your questionnaire will prove to be key for the future findings and the key decision to be made. OurConsumer Panel China gathers the best database of representative users in China.

Furthermore, reliability and consistency must be the primary driver of a market survey in China. That is why we developed a series of checks during the process. All the results and finding are monitored by our market experts and every result which is not in line with realistic data is removed.

How to analyze market survey data and findings

For market surveys and customer satisfaction survey in China, gathering data is key to build a data-driven analysis. Analyzing and finding constructive and actionable findings is Daxue Consulting’s team core expertise. Our action plan for market surveys consists of six simple steps:

1. Communicate the research problem and objectives
2. Design the overall research plan
3. Gather the data or information
4. Analyze the data or information
5. Present &discuss the findings
6. Utilize the findings to make decisions

Daxue Consulting emphasizes the 4^th step, as we believe that analyzing the data in a variety of different ways is beneficial to understanding the data. Below are some of the statistical methods we employ:

• Multiple Regression – This statistical procedure is used to estimate the equation with the best fit for explaining how the value of dependent variable changes as the values of some independent variables shifts. This method is commonly used for understanding the relation of the cost of advertising with sales revenue.

• Discriminant Analysis – This technique is used for the classification of people, products, or other tangibles into two or more categories. The analysis helps to distinguish what advertising channels are most effective for different types of products.

• Factor Analysis – This method is used to determine which are the strongest underlying dimensions of a larger set of variables that are inter-correlated. Using factor analysis, a market researcher who wants to know what combination of variables or factors is most appealing to a particular type of consumer can use factor analysis to reduce the data down to the most relevant variables.

• Cluster Analysis – This procedure is used to separate objects into a specific number of groups that are mutually exclusive but also relatively homogeneous in the constitution. This process is used to find the similarities that facilitate grouping consumers into segments and is also interested in the attributes that make the market segments unique.

• Conjoint Analysis – This method of analysis is used to understand the preferences of consumers about different marketing offers. Two dimensions are vital for conjoint analysis: (1) The inferred utility functions of each attribute, and (2) the relative importance of the preferred attributes to the consumers.

• Multidimensional Scaling – This category represents a multitude of techniques used together to produce perceptual maps of competing brands or products. For instance, in multidimensional scaling, brands are shown in the space of attributes in which distance between the brands represents dissimilarity. This method can help a business understand their products distribution channels, packaging options, specialty versions, and other attributes.
