DSC_0673If you choose to administer a market research questionnaire, one option is to use Survey Monkey. This is an automated program for collecting, organizing and presenting data. It can be used in the following ways:

 You can send the survey out via email with a link. All responses will be captured on Survey Monkey.

 You can conduct phone or face-to-face interviews and input the data yourself electronically.

 

After collecting the data, you need to compile all of the information into a well-written Market Research Report, which will inform the funder or investor that you have a full understanding of what will drive your target population to use the new SBCC product, service or intervention you intend to introduce.
