In most digital marketing and offline marketing campaigns, market research has always been a fundamental part to determine the success with your marketing initiative. Social media marketing has made it very easy to find out what people are saying about you, what do they think about your products and services, what they are really interested in, what questions they are asking, and what you should be talking to them about.

It really doesn’t matter if you don’t want to listen what is being said online about you, it is happening even with out you. The online conversation is making brand impressions on your business and market everyday. It is happening even if you have chosen to ignore social media completely. You can ignore social media, but you can’t choose to ignore the big impact the conversation is having on your business and what your audience thinks of you.

Once you start with the listening process, what questions should you ask to get started with the research? Find a couple of questions below that you can use for your research.
