There are several reasons why now might be the time to hire a market research freelancer. This includes:
Time — Hiring a freelancer gives you both the flexibility in working hours (evenings and weekends), and the ability to do work at very short notice. This is especially important if you want to move quickly and leverage the results of your research sooner rather than later.
Skills/knowledge —Knowledge is power. Market researchers give you insight and a better perspective of your market and target audience. As they are trained in research, they’re able to articulate the results and give potential solutions to problems. They have worked on various projects, so have experience and an understanding of what may work and won’t work, so you’ll be able to use this to your advantage.
Ideas —A researcher can help you analyse your results, and give recommendations on future strategies for your business. If your research is around your customers, they can help formulate plans on how best to communicate, understand what they like / dislike, so you can take advantage of that moving forward.
Results Driven — Not only are freelancers very, success is very important to them. They want to provide results on time and within budget, as a big driver of their work is word of mouth and recommendations.
