How Online Survey Acts As A Tool For Market Research Companies
If you ever go into researching for the products being launched into a particular market, you might find out that the product is neither new nor unknown. Every market is based on the preference of consumers and only after understanding consumer buying behavior does a market go ahead (using the market research data) with new product launches in those particular regions.
It takes quite some amount of online surveys to find that a regional market is ready for the new launch of the product. The survey tells us a lot about how the product/service would do in the market based on its consumer behavior, psychology, priorities, influencing factors, income, etc.
For example, the well-known Oreo sandwich cookie was first introduced by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) on 6th March 1912 and the same cookies took a hundred years to get launched into the Indian market. They made their way into the Indian market through Cadbury India in 2011. The question is what took it so long for the Indian market? The answer would be simple and it definitely includes the market research data and the consumers being ready for such a product.

From this view, a market research agency in India deduced from its online surveys that, the Indian market would, however, not be ready for new launches of products, and availability of essentials in the market would be given the highest priority.
