Focus group is one of the most well-known and widespread instruments of qualitative research. This method implies an in-depth discussion with representatives of target audience.
6 to 8 people are invited to focus group. Discussion is conducted by a professional moderator. Clients can observe focus groups personally via one-way mirror or video link.

These reasons for human behavior are often unconscious and it is difficult to understand them. Namely therefore projective and stimulating techniques are widely used in qualitative research. These techniques help researchers to reveal motives, attitudes, preferences, values, extent of respondents' satisfaction with products or brands. Projective techniques enable to overcome communication difficulties and reveal implicit motives and attitudes.
Types of projective techniques:
- Associative: word associations, personification;
- Finishing: incomplete sentences, brand mapping;
- Constructing: projective questions, collage construction;
- Ranking
- Additive -completing sentences or stories which have beginnings.
