In the last part of our series on The Social Media Marketing Framework the focus is on market research. Brands have relied on market research since branding and marketing first became an actual “thing.” As individuals we do market research all the time. Any information we have about how the people around us will react to a statement, offer, or excuse can be invaluable and certainly help with whatever goal we are trying to reach.
