It finds out whether there is a market for what you plan to sell, how big it is, who buys and why, and where you stand against the competition. At Obodo a senior researcher designs the study, runs the interviews and turns the findings into a decision: go or no-go, how to launch, or how to position. Among market research companies, we suit teams that need a focused answer on a new product or market in weeks.
How much does market research cost?
Obodo's indicative prices for market research are up to 80% less than a traditional agency's for the same scope. Answer the questions above and you will see a price for your scope in about 15 seconds, with no login. A senior researcher confirms it on a 15-minute call before anything is charged.
Do you do B2B market research as well as consumer?
Yes. Most of our work is B2B and SaaS market research, alongside consumer studies. B2B customer research differs in who you need to reach: buyers and decision-makers are fewer, busier and harder to find. So we screen for role and buying authority, lean on interviews rather than large surveys, and can recruit from your own customer lists when the audience is niche. Senior or specialist profiles take longer to recruit and cost more, and the estimator prices that in.
How is this different from Kantar, Ipsos or Savanta?
Large market research firms such as Kantar, Ipsos, Savanta and YouGov bring global panels, syndicated data and multi-country trackers. We bring a senior researcher who owns your study end to end, in weeks rather than months, at up to 80% less. That suits a focused study: sizing a market, planning a launch or understanding a competitor set. If you need a 10,000-respondent tracker across several markets, a large agency may suit you better.
Can you reach our target market?
Usually, yes. We recruit and screen participants against your criteria, from general consumers to senior or specialist profiles such as C-suite buyers, clinicians or developers. For a niche B2B audience we can also work from your own customer lists. You approve every participant before the study begins. Incentives are quoted separately, as a pass-through, so you see exactly what participants are paid.
How long does a market research study take?
A competitive landscape study runs 3–4 weeks from kick-off to findings, go-to-market research 3–4 weeks and a market feasibility study 4–6 weeks. We are up and running within days of your approval, and the timeline is written into your research plan, so you know it before you commit. Every study ends with a workshop.
