What is the purpose of market research for community nutritionists and how is it helpful?
Market research enables community nutritionists to target specific groups for health promotion and disease prevention in terms of their geography, demography, and psychography. This type of analysis is helpful in many ways: (1) targeting those at risk; (2) carrying out strategic marketing planning;(3) developing marketing media strategies; (4) examining the feasibility of various promotional tools (e.g., direct mailing versus online distribution of nutrition education materials); and (5) determining the appropriate mix of nutrition programs and services to offer on the basis of demographics (such as concentration of women, infants, children, and older adults).
