Meaning Of Research
Methodology
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Once can also
define as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a
specific topic. In fact research is an art of scientific investigation. The Advanced
Learner’s Dictionary of current English lays down the meaning of research as “a
careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any
branch of knowledge”. Redman and Mory define research as “systematized
effort to gain new knowledge”. Some people consider research as movement, a
movement from the known to the unknown. It is actually a voyage of discovery.
We all process the vital instinct of inquisitiveness for, when the unknown
confronts us. We wonder and our inquisitiveness makes us probe and attain full
and fuller understanding of the unknown. This inquisitiveness is the mother of
all knowledge and the method, which man enjoys for obtaining the knowledge
of whatever the unknown can be termed as research.

Research is an academic activity and such the term should be used in a technical
sense. According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining
problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting organizing
and evaluating data making deductions and reaching conclusions and at last
carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating
hypothesis. Research is thus an original contribution to the existing stock of
knowledge making for its advancement.
Selecting the problem:-

The research problem undertaken for study must be carefully selected. The task
is a difficult one although it may not appear to be so. Help may be taken from a
research guide in this connection. Nevertheless, every researcher must find out
his own salvation for research problems cannot be borrowed. A problem must
spring from the researchers mind like a plant springing from its own seed if our
eyes need glasses, it is not the

FINDINGS

What is marketing?
Marketing is a process that helps a business understand its brand or
marketplace from the perspective of its clients or customers, improving
the business and leading the firm to be successful in the future.
Successful marketing involves driving more customers to a company to
increase sales and leads.
Marketing professionals can help businesses identify potential new
customers and determine how to reach them effectively. Typically,
businesses work on developing marketing strategies after building their
development goals. To be successful in the field of marketing,
professionals must have a blend of creative and analytical skills as well as
the ability to advertise products and services in the right places using the
right tactics.

What is business development?


Business development is the process of identifying and securing new
opportunities that occur in a business environment. Often, this process
focuses on developing short- and long-term connections and relationships
with potential customers. Professionals who are involved in business
development for a company generate viable leads and then pass those
leads on to the sales team to complete business deals. A business
developershould be broad-minded, strategic and collaborative in their
approach to ensure they can utilize new opportunities to grow their
enterprises.
Growth potential
Most companies coordinate their marketing strategies with their business
development plans to generate better leads and promote products and
services. These new, targeted leads may drive higher close rates that
boost the success of the business. Business development focuses on
improving customer experience through your brand, while marketing
aims to create better content and messaging that can also attract
customers to the business. When each process focuses on generating
more leads, businesses often see better results in attracting customers
through the sales funnel.
For instance, your business development team can use language similar to
what your customers use with the marketing team. This can help the
marketing team develop messages, content, promotions and events that
will resonate with your target audience. In turn, the marketing team can
also offer a common language that may help the business development
team draft internal resources and sales strategies that help in attracting
more customers to the business.
Increasing leads
Business development teams can gain better-qualified leads from
marketing team members who operate with help from sales. The
marketing team uses its communication skills to target key influencers
and buyers and to create effective campaigns. Performing various
functions in business development and marketing can help develop
strategies that meet your client's needs and understand how to
communicate well with prospects. You can also create campaigns that
drive the most valuable leads as per stakeholder criteria.
The business development department may also use business analyst
experts to find the best opportunities for different industries and
customers. By bridging various data streams, they target partners,
stakeholders and potential customers. The marketing team also brings
together that ecosystem of partners, advisors, influencers and analysts to
determine high-quality targets and assist the business development team
in designing a comprehensive strategy for systematically pursuing them.
Finding opportunities
A marketing team's access to activities and social intelligence on social
media keep them at the forefront of industry changes and help them stay
ahead of the competition. Marketing and business development may
adopt similar plans to ensure both departments benefit from dependable
lead tracking through the entire sales funnel, better lead outcomes and
consistent messaging. The ear-to-the-ground mentality of marketing also
supplements business development by ensuring salespeople have access
to suitable events and forums where they can engage influencers and
customers.
These opportunities are similar to those enjoyed by the marketing team
because they help generate leads through connections and positioning.
Marketing managers may get similar invites to business events and use
these chances to promote their company's products and services through
their excellent communication skills. However, they should develop other
marketing strategies that can market their product value.

College degrees
Students who want to work in the field of marketing will often major in
advertising, marketing research, sales management or public relations.
Once they grasp marketing roles, they may choose a work specialty that
suits them and declare it their study area. Alternatively, students may
major in business management and choose marketing as their specialty.
Upon graduation, these students may apply for marketing roles.
To specialize in business development, students can pursue a bachelor of
science in accounting, business management, international trade,
communication management, advertising or a related major to increase
their business skills. Business development students may often take part
in events that help them gain development and management skills and
understand better strategies for managing customers. This may include
taking part in student organizations within the business development
department, student leadership and governance roles within the different
academic clubs.
Differentiation vs. connection
Marketing is about identifying your key differentiators to establish your
position within the market. The goal is to stand out to show how you are
different or better than your competitors. Whether you are working on
website content, promoting a specific event or drafting a press release,
creating high-quality messaging strategies can help you market the
company's services and products to new customers.
Business development, in contrast, is all about creating connections. It
builds upon the company brand that has been established through
marketing efforts to connect your audience to your services and products.
Its main focus may be networking events, getting leads and converting
those leads into customers via your sales team.
Creating relationships differently
Both the public relations and marketing team members need to create
relationships with their clients. The marketing team may develop
innovative ideas that connect them with customers and promote their
products and services through excellent relationships with their clients.
Integrating with many individuals in different areas can attract many
leads and increase company sales. For example, they can organize a
business development event that may incorporate other people and attract
them to the business.
Business development also requires you to interact with people and
partners while making connections. The way you interact with people
determines the relationships you make to attract leads. While you may
not get many opportunities to get into the field to connect with people
like the marketing team, you can develop strategies that connect you to
potential customers and improve your performance.
Timing of the impact
The marketing role is part of the day-to-day creation of revenue. As
inbound leads increase, the marketing team members send them to sales.
The sales team, in turn, review them and sends the best prospects on to
the company's best closers. This process happens daily to keep the
business operating. Most companies define marketing goals in quarterly
or annual terms.
Business development is more of a long-term project. This sector works
on strategic partnerships and new products that can take a year or more to
succeed. It may take months or years before a business development plan
begins to make a noticeable impact on revenue. It's essential to know that
business development focuses on the long-term future of the business.
Focus on current vs. future products
The marketing department focuses on the current products a company
offers. Its job is to sell customers products and services that can be
delivered to customers immediately. The business development
department uses technology and research to create future products or
alternative solutions for their customers.
The marketing department in a company that sells tools, for example,
would focus on marketing the current products and generating leads. The
business development department, meanwhile, would focus on improving
those products and creating new ones to offer in the future.

Method of attracting customers


Customers working with the company's marketing team are likely to be at
one of the three stages of the marketing process:
Awareness: Customers in this stage are looking for solutions to their
problems. Marketing your brands can create awareness among your
potential customers. For instance, a customer who knows they need a
hammer may research companies that sell hammers to see what their
options are.
Consideration: Some customers are already aware of several solutions
and are evaluating their options. At this stage, the customer evaluates the
information you provide while marketing your hammers and compares it
to what your competitors offer to determine which product best suits their
needs.
Decision: Customers in this stage have decided on a solution and
determined what they may pay for it. Your development team may use
different strategies to convince many customers to buy products from
your business.
The marketing team can adjust its messaging or strategy to reach more
customers or to engage them more effectively. However, their efforts will
always be limited by the company's current products and processes. It
falls on the business development team to think of long-term ways to
attract and retain customers. For instance, the business development team
can work on new products, better designs, faster shipping and
manufacturing timelines and improved customer service policies that will
keep customers coming back.
CHALLENGES

1. Generating Traffics and Good LeadsGenerating traffics and leads are the top
most crucial problems in marketing. When the day passes every time marketer
needs to find good leads and better traffics for the product & their services.So,
marketers are striving with producing and generating the traffic of interest for
their content whereas there are a lot of platforms for marketers to publish their
content and to promote the same.What could you do?When it comes to
producing enough traffic and leads, marketers should ask these two questions by
themselves

Are you truly creating high-quality content, for the type of content people would
pay for?

Do you know the type of content your audience actually wants?

For example, HubSpot Research found that 43% of consumers wanted to see
more videos from marketers, while only 29% wanted to see only publications on
the blog.When you realize that you are creating the type of content your
audience wants, the focus is on promoting it so your audience gets to know
about the content. More than ever, people are flooded with content. Consumers
should not use a search engine to find answers. Instead, the articles complete
their news feed or buzz in their pocket by mobile notification.

2. Provide the ROI of your Marketing Activities


Measuring ROI (Return On Investment) of your marketing activities remained a
major marketing challenge from year to year. But, it also continues to be a vital
way for marketers to understand the effectiveness of every marketing campaign,
content, and so on.
In addition, proof of ROI often goes hand in hand with an argument for
increasing the budget: no tracking of return on investment, no independent
return on investment. No ROI, No Budget.
But tracking the ROI of each marketing activity is not always simple, especially
if you do not have two-way communication between your marketing activities
and sales reports.
What could you do?
When it comes to providing a return on investment, it is important to dedicate
time and resources to link marketing activities to sales results. This implies
utilizing both marketing software (such as HubSpot) and a CRM solution (such
as the free HubSpot CRM) ties them together to close the loop between
marketing and sales efforts with a service level agreement (SLA). This way you
can see directly the number of leads and customers generated by your marketing
activities.

3. Securing Enough Budget


Ensuring enough budget is an urgent challenge for global marketing. And often
it is easier to make more budget than expected, especially for small businesses
that do not work with large and flexible marketing expenses. But the key to
getting more money for your team might not be so complex.
What could you do?
The key to unlocking the budget is to be able to prove the ROI (return on
investment) of your marketing efforts. According to our report, organizations
that can calculate ROI are 1.6 times more likely to receive higher budgets.
Again, success with inbound marketing also plays an essential role in driving
higher budgets. Powerful strategies obviously produce results and our data
shows that those who feel confident in their marketing strategy are more than
double as likely to get higher budgets for their marketing teams. But remember,
inbound marketing is a long game. If you start slowly, you should not back
down – in fact, you might consider doubling

4. Managing Website
Managing a website was the biggest challenge for marketers in 2016. And
chances are that the performance of your website is on the top of the list. This is
an asset that works 24 hours a day to attract visitors, convert them and help you
achieve your goals, after all.
Problems related to website management encompass various factors, from
writing and optimizing content to designing beautiful web pages. Here are a few
things that marketers can do to meet this challenge.
What could you do?
First, read this report to see how your website accumulates on more than a
million other sites. It also includes an in-depth analysis of the four most critical
elements of site performance and design, average load time and website
security, mobility and SEO.
If your main challenge with managing a website relates to the skills and
resources you have, you are not alone. This is especially true for small
businesses that do not possess all the talents needed to cover the content,
optimization, design and management of the website.

5. Training Your Team


As companies grow and technologies continue to evolve, training your team will
become a major challenge for marketers. Whether it is their training on the
concepts and tools they will use every day or ensure that they reach their full
potential, the fight is real at all levels.
To battle this, I will share some tips that I have used during my training to
ensure that the concepts and tool tips have a lasting effect on your team and
your marketing.
What could you do?
To get a general idea of your team, take a few minutes to evaluate each of the
strengths and weaknesses of your team, your skills and your passion for your
business. Then, objectively note the priority (or level of importance) of their
expertise and their contribution to the basic objectives (ROI) to date.
LIMITATIONS

Marketing and business development, while crucial for organizational growth, face several
limitations:

Budget Constraints: Limited financial resources can restrict the scope and effectiveness of
marketing campaigns and business development initiatives.

Changing Consumer Behavior: Rapid changes in consumer preferences and behaviors can
make it challenging to predict and respond effectively.

Competition: Intense competition in most industries can make it difficult to stand out and
capture market share.

Technological Advancements: Keeping up with rapidly evolving technologies is essential,


but it can also be costly and pose a learning curve for businesses.

Global Economic Factors: Economic downturns, recessions, or geopolitical issues can


impact consumer spending and business opportunities.

Regulatory Challenges: Businesses must navigate complex and ever-changing regulations,


which can affect marketing strategies and business development plans.

Data Privacy Concerns: Increasing awareness and regulations regarding data privacy can
limit the use of customer data for marketing purposes.

Short Product Lifecycles: Some industries experience short product lifecycles, requiring
businesses to constantly innovate to stay competitive.

Risk Aversion: Businesses may be reluctant to invest in new marketing strategies or


business ventures due to a fear of failure.

Cultural and Regional Differences: Adapting marketing strategies to different cultures and
regions requires a nuanced approach to resonate with diverse audiences.

Understanding and addressing these limitations is essential for businesses to develop


resilient strategies and navigate the dynamic landscape of marketing and business
development.
CONCLUSION

In conclusion, marketing and business development are indispensable components of


organizational success, driving growth and fostering long-term viability. However,
navigating through the multifaceted landscape of these domains requires a nuanced
understanding of challenges and opportunities. From budget constraints and technological
advancements to evolving consumer behaviors and regulatory landscapes, businesses must
adeptly address a myriad of factors. By embracing innovation, staying attuned to market
dynamics, and adapting strategies to meet diverse needs, organizations can position
themselves for sustained success. Despite the inherent limitations, a proactive and strategic
approach to marketing and business development can pave the way for increased brand
visibility, customer engagement, and ultimately, a thriving enterprise.
