Focus Groups
from:A focus group is method of quantitative research in which a group of people are asked about their perceptions about a product and other aspects related to the product like its packaging, service idea, advertising and service. An interactive group is formed and participants are free to talk with other group members ,so basically a discussion group is formed and people are led towards discussing various aspects about a product or service .Ernest Dichter coined this term and now it is one of the most popular method to estimate and measure consumer satisfaction.
The importance of focus group in various fields is briefed as follows:
In marketing
Focus groups are used to acquire feedback regarding new product, as well as various topics in the field of business marketing. This is helpful for the new companies that are planning to develop some new product. It helps them to discuss about it as well as test it before it is launched. The information so derived is priceless and provides a lot of information about the potential market acceptance of the product.
