AGB406 Agribusiness Marketing Planning Assignment 5: Conduct Primary Research: Craft a Survey for Your Target Market (20 Points) An essential step in building your marketing plan is gathering insights directly from your target market. To achieve this, you will write and conduct a primary research survey. This survey is a pivotal tool that will allow you to understand your target market's preferences, needs, and behaviors, ensuring your marketing strategies are finely tuned to meet their demands. You will share this survey and your primary research results with your client. Do quality work. Step 1: Survey Design
Using a survey tool like Survey Monkey (free version), design a questionnaire (7-10 questions) to gather information about your target market’s perceptions, preferences, behaviors or other insights related to your Marketing Opportunity.
The survey should include a mix of multiple-choice questions and open-ended questions, covering demographics, product/concept feedback or other insights relevant to developing a successful marketing plan. Step 2: Survey Pre-Testing
Before distributing the survey to the target market, pre-test your survey with a small group to ensure that questions are clear, unbiased, and effectively capture the required data. Make any changes required. Step 3: Data Collection
Each team should distribute their survey to a minimum of 20 individuals representing your target market. Step 4: Data Analysis
Once the survey responses are collected, analyze the data using Survey Monkey.
Look for trends, patterns, and insights related to your Marketing Opportunity. Step 5: Report
Create a comprehensive report summarizing your findings. The report should include:
Introduction (briefly describe the product and its significance)
Methodology (explain how the survey was conducted)
Presentation of Data (charts, graphs, tables, etc.)
Analysis (interpretation of the data, key findings)
Recommendations (based on the findings, suggest marketing strategies or improvements for the product)
