Conclusion If we could change the first survey, we would change question number 6. Since the “other” category was the most popular choice we would’ve provided more options to further understand which brands people like. To obtain answers to the first survey, Greg and Lauren were each able to survey one of their teachers classrooms and Peter and Sean both surveyed people individually. If we were to make any changes to the second survey, we would add another question asking which of the two were the cheez-its. The only problems we had doing the second survey were, if we tried to survey a group of people at once, some people would leave half way through and some people came just for the food and didn’t want to take the survey. If we were to make any changes during the project, we’d make sure that our cheez-its and cheese nips were the same size during the taste testing because the difference in size made it easier for taste testers to differentiate. We enjoyed being able to personally survey people to find out what they like and how strongly they were convinced that they knew what they were eating. The project gave us a better understanding of what goes into market research and how it Is helpful in satisfying consumers.
