Types of market research provided by AQRate


A quantitative research approach

At AQ Rate, our quantitative approach is based on rigorous methodologies and reliable data in order to support organisations at every stage of their decision-making process. We conduct ad hoc studies to address specific, one-off issues, tracking studies to measure the performance of actions or indicators over a defined period, and continuous monitoring systems to observe changes in markets and behaviours over time. In addition, our express studies provide rapid responses to urgent issues without compromising on the quality and reliability of the results.

Thanks to our use of Askia, a high-end research software, we ensure robust data collection, precise analysis, and full methodological control. 


A qualitative research approach

At AQ Rate, our qualitative research approach is designed to explore motivations, perceptions, and behaviours in depth. We conduct focus groups to stimulate discussion and uncover collective insights, in-depth interviews to gain detailed and nuanced individual perspectives, and observation to capture real-life behaviours and interactions. In addition, our desk research combines existing data sources, studies, and market intelligence to enrich analysis and provide contextual understanding. 

AQ Rate collaborates with a renowned qualitative research agency, Egerie Research, an independent Belgian agency recognised for its expertise. This partnership strengthens our qualitative capabilities and ensures high standards of methodological rigor and insight quality.
