Research Approach

Ceatro Group works with its clients to determine the best research methodologies and project structure to deliver the necessary insights and business results. Our goal is to get our clients the best information and insights possible. The only way to do that is to custom design each project. Though we don’t have one go-to research methodology that we apply to all situations we do favor qualitative methodologies and smaller studies because they usually provide the best access to underlying insights that are otherwise hard to see.

Sample Methodologies: One on one interviews/IDI, Ethnography, Observation, Journaling, Product testing, Concept testing, Gamification, Surveys, Conjoint studies, Intercepts, Mystery shopping

Sample Locations and Channels: In-person, home, office, retail store, doctor’s office, research facility, at conferences, online, video based, online communities, phone
