DIY Research

Research is a great tool that can provide useful data and much-needed insights. However, it does not make a decision nor does it guarantee business success. When evaluating data gaps – or the missing links in information – most marketers do not have adequate research budgets to fill the holes. By executing the research on your own, i.e., doing it yourself, often times the process will provide usable information with which you can form insights to clarify the situation, guide research process selection and sometimes actually fill the gap. When executed correctly, DIY-Research techniques help you gather good, usable information to positively affect your communication challenge.
