In-person focus groups
When you want to hear the voice of your customer in-person.
- Other Qualitative Techniques
Focus groups are an excellent technique for answering "why" questions – delving more deeply into buyer motivations and decision-making. These focus groups can be conducted in-person or on-line using webstreaming or webcams, especially when there are geographical or time constraints.

In-person focus groups are ideal for finding out about buyer or user motivations and decision-making when you can convene a group in one location. The focus groups run by Beacon's researchers are typically made up of 8 to 10 individuals recruited specifically for the task at hand.
Smaller groups, or "mini-groups", are used for more precise targeting and discussions and allow more time for individual respondents. We also carry out in-depth interviews, usually on a one-to-one basis.
