Consumer Insights FAQ

What is consumer market research?

Consumer research companies help brands understand who their customers are, what drives their choices, and how they behave across the path to purchase. It covers everything in consumer behavior from how people discover and evaluate products to what keeps them loyal or pushes them to switch.

What is the point of consumer insights?

Consumer insights translate raw research into understanding that drives decisions. The role of consumer research companies isn’t just to describe what consumers do, it’s to explain why, and to surface what that means for brand strategy, product development, communications, and growth. Good insights change how a business thinks, not just what it knows.

What are the four types of market research?

It depends how you cut it. By methodology, the four core approaches are surveys, interviews, focus groups, and observation. By research purpose, they’re exploratory (understanding a problem), descriptive (mapping market characteristics), causal (testing cause and effect), and predictive (forecasting future behavior).

At Basis, our AI and big data adds a fifth dimension, allowing us to process millions of real-world signals to surface what traditional methods alone can’t reach.

What consumer research services does Basis offer?

Consumer insights consulting from Basis covers the full consumer research spectrum: usage and attitude studies, segmentation, shopper insight, path to purchase, creative development and testing, brand tracking, and global consumer insights. Each market research consumer behavior is designed to answer a specific business question, not just generate data.

How is consumer research different from B2B research?

Consumer research typically works with larger, more accessible audiences but needs to account for emotional, habitual, and social drivers that aren’t always easy to articulate. B2B research deals with smaller, harder-to-reach audiences and longer, committee-driven buying decisions. The methodologies overlap but the design logic is quite different.

Can you run consumer research across multiple markets?

Yes. Basis has experience running internationally consistent studies across multiple countries and regions, with methodology designed to hold up across different cultures, languages, and consumer behaviors.
