Question: Your boss asks you to identify your target audience’s preferred channels by collecting feedback. What are the different ways you can collect accurate feedback? Select all that apply.
- Run social media polls.
- Interview your marketing team.
- Run focus groups with customers.
- Publish online surveys.
Explanation
Accurate channel research should come from the target audience rather than internal assumptions. Direct feedback helps identify where people prefer to discover, evaluate, and engage with content. Quantitative responses can show broader patterns, while moderated conversations can uncover motivations behind those preferences. This supports inbound marketing because distribution decisions should align with audience behavior and context.
Why the other options are incorrect
Marketing team interviews rely on internal perspective instead of direct audience feedback.
