Our staff are experienced at interviewing and surveying farmers, distributors, veterinarians, consultants, contractors and service providers.
We offer specialised expertise where the complex or technical nature of the subject matter requires sound knowledge of markets and/or end users.
Quantitative
For quantitative projects Baron uses advanced statistical software that allows us to undertake a broad range of analyses. Some of the more interesting options are:
- Key decision-drivers
- Perceptual mapping
- Factor analysis
- Cluster analysis
- Conjoint studies
Qualitative
For qualitative projects we adopt a flexible approach with a clear focus on the objectives and the client’s overall requirements.
Many require the conduct of focus groups, with which we have substantial experience.
When the subject group is farmers, our usual method is to invite a number of farmers from the area to dinner in a private room at a local restaurant. We find this encourages a relaxed discussion and facilitates the expression of genuine opinions.
With other groups such as veterinarians and opinion leaders, different methods are sometimes preferred.
