This helps to gather contextual information about specific quantitative data sets.<br \/>For example, you run a quantitative survey asking your customers to rate your product and 80% of the respondents give you a poor rating. But this survey won\u2019t tell you why! To understand this, you can go for a qualitative survey asking questions like \u201cwhat can we do to improve our product?\u201d, \u201cwhat features do you expect from our product?\u201d, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New topic areas.<\/strong> Open-ended questions trigger our audience\u2019s thought processes. You might come across innovative suggestions from your respondents to improve your product. And this increases the possibility to discover new topic areas and solutions that you might not have considered before.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qualitative Research provides flexibility.<\/strong> Unlike quantitative surveys that have a rigid structure, qualitative surveys give the surveyor free hand to follow up on any response that they feel to generate more depth on. Depending on the nature and quality of responses, surveyors can quickly modify their questions to get a better understanding of their customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.outgrow.co\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39484 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Outgrow-free.gif\" alt=\"Create surveys for free CTA\" width=\"1080\" height=\"540\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Should_I_Use_Quantitative_Survey_Questions\"><\/span><strong>When Should I Use Quantitative Survey Questions?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When you need broad insights.<\/strong> Quantitative survey questions are ideal for gaining a larger perspective of the market as a whole. With quantitative survey questions, you get precise and objective answers. Therefore they are also used to predict the market trends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>To capture quantifiable behavioral data.<\/strong> You can capture behavioral insight such as how often someone orders food online, do they prefer tea or coffee, how much do they spend on cigarettes, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Primary research.<\/strong> Quantitative research is economical in terms of money and time. So it is wise to start off with quantitative research questions if you have limited time and resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Should_I_Use_Qualitative_Survey_Questions\"><\/span><strong>When Should I Use Qualitative Survey Questions?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add context to your quantitative data.<\/strong> Quantitative analysis tells you about <em>what<\/em> has happened but it often fails to answer <em>why<\/em> that has happened. In such cases, you need qualitative survey questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qualitative survey questions answer what quantitative survey questions cannot. <\/strong>Qualitative analysis helps you to understand the concepts that quantitative analysis cannot. Hence you can use these question types to discover user opinions, beliefs, thoughts, challenges, goals, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build your buyer persona<\/strong>. Understanding buyer personas is quintessential for designing your marketing strategy. You can mine as much quantitative data as you can, but that&#8217;s not enough to build your buyer persona. You need to define your user\u2019s behavioral traits, pain points, needs, interests, etc. to complete your buyer persona. And these segments can only be figured out through qualitative survey questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recap\"><\/span><strong>Recap<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have discussed everything about Qualitative and Quantitative research, here\u2019s a quick recap.<\/p>\n<p>Quantitative and qualitative research is complementary in nature. Quantitative research shows us figures and facts on what has happened. In contrast, qualitative research helps us get context on quantitative data. In other words, qualitative research explains \u2018why\u2019 a certain thing has happened. So, we need both qualitative and quantitative research to come to a foolproof conclusion and solution.<\/p>\n<p>The ideal way is to start with quantitative research. One of the best ways to conduct quantitative research is through interactive surveys. Try out Outgrow to create online surveys without any coding or hassle. Want to create one for free?
