Marketing Surveys Sometimes Don't Work


Dilbert sure got this one right. Good thing to keep in mind when doing surveys, focus groups or any other type of customer sourcing of feedback on your product. Not to mention, people lie... sometimes they know when they are lying, and sometimes they don't. You think when people were asked if they would buy a "Pet Rock," they said yes?

The tricky thing about interviewing people is making sure that you don't make them think about things that they wouldn't otherwise think about. Getting people to rationalize their emotional decisions leads to immense amounts of bad insight.
