Identification

A market survey is a key element of market research that contains data about the behaviors, actions, preferences, expenditures and activities of a specific market. The company owner can analyze the data and then use this information to make important decisions about his own business.
Factors
-
A market survey may include questions answered by a set of customers. It also can contain feedback from a focus group or street survey. More complex market surveys contain industry-wide statistics, information about market share and trends that are of importance to the business owner.
