Qualitative Research uses small samples - often in groups or one-on-one interviews, - and a conversational or ethnographic format to uncover the emotional and psychological subtleties that influence consumer preferences and purchasing behavior. The up-close and personal format of qualitative methods are "up-close and personal". They enrich quantitative data by revealing the why behind the numbers.
