Week 4 - Reflection of the process of conducting research

Over the last week ‘The Budgeteers’ thought more deeply about market research, such as what methods and designs we should do to reach our targeted beneficiaries. In a group we all agreed that an online survey would be practical as a vast amount of information could be gathered quickly. As a group we brainstormed what sorts of questions would be appropriate for us to obtain useful information and move on effectively with our idea and research.

Within this questionnaire there were demographic questions, to help us identify which groups of people would be more likely to use our service. Furthermore there were questions linked to our service, in which we allowed respondents to type in there own answers to gain specific feedback, helping us identify any issues. 

However a potential issue of data research and peoples needs is the idea of data protection. Most students would not want to complete one of our surveys if it was to ask for personal details, for example loan size and other more financial aspects, making it difficult to obtain certain quantitative data. This could possibly reflect on our service. Therefore suggesting that trust would have to be built with students using our service
