Qualutative research is such type of studies which enables researchers to receive profound and detailed information about a research object. The main difference between qualitative and quantitative research is that the data are collected from a comparatively small group of respondents and are not analyzed with statistical methods.

Qualitative methods are effective for the following purposes:

• definition of the perspectives of development of a new product, product line, brand;
• gaining information about characteristics of consumer behavior;
• definition of factors of products' and/or services' choice;
• testing ideas at hand, promotion and positioning concepts;
• brand audit: brand image, name, logo, product;
• testing package design;
• testing advertisements and advertising concepts;
• studying consumer motivation and needs;
• studying the perspectives of rebranding;
• estimation of advertising campaigns' effectiveness;
• formulation of hypotheses for quantitative research and interpretation of its results.
