The final budget for a market research project is often a balancing between the information needs and available budget. The more (detailed) information is required, the higher the price. The lower the price, the more generalistic the information acquired.
In the most basic form, a market research project could be conducted for a minimum budget of 1.500 - 2.500 €. The more information and insight is required, the higher the budget will increase.
Important to know is that Day One always works with a fixed budget. Pricing is agreed upon before the start of the project and no additional costs will be charged.

Here is a list of the 5 Main contributing factors to the Budget for a Market Research Project
Investing in a market research project is one of the smartest moves your business can make.
At Day One, we believe in transparency and helping clients understand the factors that influence the cost of their projects.
By breaking down the five main parameters that contribute to your budget, we aim to give you clarity and confidence as you plan your research efforts.
.
1. Scope of the Research
The size and complexity of your research project significantly impact the budget. Are you targeting a local market or conducting a global study? Do you need a deep dive into a niche audience or a broader analysis?
The scope of your project determines the resources required, including sample size, research tools, and data collection methods.
.
2. Methodology and Tools
Different research methods come with varying costs.
Quantitative approaches, such as surveys and data analytics, are typically more cost-efficient for large samples, while qualitative methods, like focus groups and in-depth interviews, require specialized expertise and time.
At Day One, we tailor the methodology to your specific needs, balancing effectiveness and budget.
.
3. Data Collection Requirements
The way data is collected also plays a significant role in determining costs.
Online surveys and digital feedback tools tend to be more cost-effective, while face-to-face interviews, ethnographic studies, and fieldwork may require higher investments due to logistical considerations.
.
4. Level of Customization
Every business is unique, and custom research solutions are often required to address specific challenges or opportunities.
Customization, such as tailored survey questions, bespoke reports, or specialized analysis, can increase costs but delivers insights that are directly actionable for your business.
.
5. Reporting and Analysis
The depth and presentation of the final analysis also contribute to the budget.
Basic reports with key findings are more economical, while detailed analyses, visual dashboards, and strategic recommendations require additional time and expertise.
At Day One, we ensure every report is clear, actionable, and aligned with your objectives.
