Comment on Craigslist Used Correctly Can Increase Your Business by Greg

“One of the most effective forms of this type of research is to have members of the target audience fill out market surveys. The answers provided by the participants should give the marketer a good idea of what the target audience is seeking.”

Surveys aren’t quite as easy as you make them sound. For one, designing a good, useful survey is an actual art form. A market researcher once quipped, “If I use surveys, I can make my target market say whatever my client wants it to.”

Second, analyzing surveys requires some extremely specialized skills in quantitative methods. Even simple surveys that are composed 100% of interval scales require some fairly specialized skills. If you are interested in figuring out keywords, you have to use a more free form type of survey. Coding free form results is another art form - one which takes years of work to master! As an example, consider some media analysis work by a scholar like Joyce Green.

Third, even if you have the necessary skills in quantitative methods, in order to have confidence in the results, you need a fairly large pool of respondents. How will you recruit and/or reward your respondents?

All in all, surveys are a pretty poor research tool to use if the ‘free’ is the most attractive part of Craigslist.
