What is qualitative research?

Qualitative research seeks more in-depth, free form answers from respondents either in person or via open-test responses.

This type of research is usually carried out with small groups and takes the form of in-person focus groups, telephone interviews or detailed surveys with free text responses. The method is used to gather anecdotal views and opinions, which inform generally rather than offer hard data.   

What is quantitative research?

Quantitative research, as the name suggests, is primarily about numbers. It generally involves surveying a large group of people (usually at least several hundred and often thousands), using a structured questionnaire that contains predominantly closed-ended, or forced-choice, questions.

This is so that findings may be expressed numerically, enabling companies to garner statistics upon which plans and predictions can be made.
