Declining or Waning
- Traditional Survey Methods:
There has been a noticeable decline in the focus on traditional survey methodologies, as the field shifts towards more innovative data collection techniques, such as mobile apps and online engagement strategies. - Generalized Market Trends:
Research that broadly examines market trends without specific contextual analysis or targeted consumer insights appears to be decreasing, as there is a growing preference for studies that provide deeper, more nuanced understandings of specific market segments. - Static Branding Concepts:
The exploration of static branding concepts, such as fixed brand attributes or traditional brand positioning strategies, is becoming less frequent, with a shift towards dynamic branding strategies that adapt to changing consumer behaviors and market conditions. - Simple Demographic Analysis:
There seems to be a waning interest in basic demographic analysis in market research, as the discipline increasingly recognizes the complexity of consumer identities and the need for more sophisticated segmentation approaches. - Conventional Advertising Effectiveness Studies:
Research that looks solely at the effectiveness of traditional advertising without integrating newer forms of media and consumer interaction is becoming less relevant, as the focus shifts to comprehensive analyses of multi-channel strategies.
