Also called `group interviews’, focus groups are a method to get firsthand insights and ideas from actual and potential customers.It is used to investigate how a brand or product is perceived by the audience, to understand a specific consumer behavior or simply get new ideas to improve the existing offering.
Group vs Individual interviews
Groups dynamics are highly powerful as a mechanism to help participants generate ideas in the exploration phase of a concept. Individual interviews will be better-suited when digging into individual decisions, or when the topic under investigation is highly sensitive.
