Illuminate the market.
Providing strategic direction through market intelligence.
Sound planning is based on insightful and relevant business intelligence. Market research fulfills the need for a greater depth of knowledge and understanding about customers, prospects, your competition, your brand positioning, the product or service you are selling, pricing, advertising, and promotions.
Our research provides the intelligence to shine a spotlight on the key areas that help develop and maintain the practices, strategies, and technologies that companies use to manage their business relationships with customers, assisting in customer retention and driving sales growth.
Connecting the critical points.
To tell the story, we help find the meaning behind the data.
Our approach to research is that in order for the results to be relevant, it is necessary to make the connections that will lead to deeper insights. Data points do not exist in isolation, and it is incumbent upon the researcher to identify the connections that are most meaningful and, importantly, help to lead the development of business strategy.
We use an exploratory analytical approach to help make these connections and uncover the insights and, ultimately, implications of these connections.
Guided research, better results.
Let us guide you through the process.
Research and the resulting pool of information can be difficult to navigate. Our team will help get you through the process painlessly. By visualizing the path ahead, making the connections, and with some help from our years of experience in the market research field, our approach gives you a ‘leg up’ on the competition.
We will help you identify where you want to go then we’ll help you get there through our guided approach.
Our Approach
It is our view that market research should be viewed more as a process than an individual project that has a place in the strategy and planning for most organizations, and can provide an organization with the intelligence to make sound business decisions. Whether it is launching a new product or service, identifying how customers view your organization (brand), awareness of your brand or gaining insights on how to manage and improve customer relationships, research and the information gleaned from the research can provide the foundation for taking the next steps.
With this in mind, we approach our work using the idea that whatever we do, we carefully listen to our clients and ensure the research fulfills our clients’ need for information. The information needs to be relevant, practical, and timely. We do not simply provide data, we provide information. We analyze the data and offer analysis that takes into account our base of knowledge and experience, making the results more than a simple reporting exercise, but a full-fledged accounting of the research initiative.
Our Story
The use of “cairn” in our company’s name was first used almost 20 years ago. It is based on what a cairn represents among those who explore the outdoors. As outdoors enthusiasts, we would see cairns along the trail, which in most cases would be where the trail might be unclear, change direction or where navigation might be difficult when weather conditions prevent seeing the route more clearly. Essentially, cairns provide direction, especially in places where the direction may not be clear. And that is how we view market research, to provide direction and assist in decision-making when the way forward may not always be clear, or the outcome is uncertain.
Our Team
At Cairn Consulting Group, our team brings together the experience and talent needed to fuel your team’s marketing engine.
