Market Research

    There are many ways with which a company will go about conducting research. This could include, but is not limited to: online surveys, telemarketing phone calls and social media advertisements (success or lack there of). Although I understand that companies need to gather information in order to succeed, I typically prefer to not partake in this research.
    The main reason I would rather not be a part of the research is 1 simple reason; time. I find that the marketing research always comes at a time that is not particularly the best. Technology allows companies to access their consumers at any time of the day, and this is not always the most satisfactory. Often times, there will be a phone call when you're busy doing other activities, or you get stopped while looking online. These tend to irritate more consumers than those who enjoy it. Instead, there should solely be optional ways for people to partake in research without feeling like they are being pressured. Many stores use this type of research by putting a survey website on receipts and encouraging consumers to go online and give feedback by giving an incentive. This allows the consumer to go on if and when it is good for them.
