In Person Focus Groups

In person focus groups are a traditional and widely used method in market research. They involve a small group of people coming together at a specific venue to share their ideas, needs, preferences, opinions, and experiences about a specific product or service.

Without a solid understanding of your market, you risk making decisions based on assumptions or outdated information, which can lead to misaligned branding efforts, wasted resources, and costly mistakes.

Make informed decisions that are grounded in real data.

“As a business, you are about to invest thousands, 100s of thousands, even millions into launching into a new market, but many of us don’t even take the time to do our research first. What can we do today, to guarantee success tomorrow?

Do your due diligence - do your research. It's worth the investment."

Benefits of In Person Focus Groups Include:

Non-Verbal Cues

In-person sessions allow researchers to observe participants’ body language, facial expressions, and non-verbal cues, providing additional insights beyond verbal responses.

Make informed decisions

Customer journey maps provide data-driven insights that enable informed decision-making. Businesses can prioritise improvements and allocate resources based on the most impactful touchpoints, ensuring a more efficient use of resources and a higher return on investment.

Group Dynamics and New Ideas

In-person and group sessions  promote spontaneous interactions among participants, fostering a dynamic group environment that may lead to the generation of new ideas and collaborative discussions.

Hands-On and Visual

Depending on the research topic, in-person sessions allow for more tangible product demonstrations, or the testing of prototypes, enhancing the depth of data collected. If you are presenting visual stimuli, such as advertisements or products, they can be more impactful in an in-person setting, as participants can view materials together and discuss them in real-time and moderators can capture expressions.. For example, taste testing or range reviews.

Cultural Context

In-person sessions can be more effective in capturing subtle cultural nuances, especially when dealing with topics deeply rooted in cultural context.

Personal Connections

Face-to-face interactions can help build trust between participants and the moderator, potentially leading to more open and honest responses.

Engagement and Attention

In-person sessions offer a more controlled environment in comparison with online focus groups with fewer external distractions (for example – barking dog or toddler entering discussion!). This can contribute to higher participant engagement and focused discussions.

While in-person focus groups have the benefits outlined above, it’s important to consider the practical challenges, including costs, logistical issues, and the potential impact of group dynamics on individual responses. The choice between in-person and online focus groups should align with the specific research objectives and the characteristics of the target audience.
