Researching the market for your product or service involves gathering information on consumers’ needs and wants. This includes understanding how much people value your product or service, whether they’re willing to pay for it, and where they prefer to buy it. There is a broad range of market research tools available today, however, the challenging part is deciphering between which tools are imperative to your business to achieve continued success.
Several companies require tools that address coverage, reimbursement, pricing, data needs, and competitive positioning. On the other hand, other companies require perspectives on the factors that drive market size along with a clear definition of the product and its adoption. To ease the tough decisions surrounding which market research tool is best suited to your business, we have provided insights into 3 market research tools specifically designed for medical device companies.
Surveys
A survey is a type of market research tool that asks questions directly to respondents. You can use surveys to gather data on consumer preferences, attitudes, behaviors, and opinions. However, there are some limitations with surveys. They tend to be expensive, time consuming, and difficult to implement. iData has overcome this limitation by providing extensive medical market surveys at a competitive price point. These medical market surveys provide invaluable customer insights to help develop your organization’s strategy for continued success. Any request for statistically significant data on specific products or services can be handled by iDatas’ survey team, whether it is to gauge user purchasing habits, or to measure marketing penetration.
Before conducting the physician and end-user surveys, questions are carefully designed and tested to ensure they:
- Are understandable and avoid unnecessary jargon
- Yield the required information based on the clients specifications
- Encourage the full engagement and cooperation of respondents
- Elicit specific and relevant information
- Protect against known industry biases
Following the completion of the initial survey phase, the collected information is synthesized into a detailed and comprehensive analysis, providing key insights with means to track relevant and important trends.
