MARKETING RESEARCH FOR NON-PROFIT, COMMUNITY AND C: HOW TO IMPROVE...

This book will have two purposes. First, the book will educate readers on how research can be used to help their organization more effectively reach its goals. Second, it will educate the reader on how to conduct different methods of research and use the findings to improve their product, find customers and develop effective promotion. Textbooks on nonprofit marketing do teach students marketing theory and practice. However these books often only have a chapter or less on marketing research. As a result of this approach, even if the students gain an understanding of product development, segmentation approaches and promotion methods, they do not know how to conduct the research which would provide the information necessary for making any marketing decision.
