Audience feedback is very important, mostly, we try and define our aduiences by
collecting two types of information. When defining audiences there are two different
subsectors that each audience can be defined in, these two subsectors are referred
to as quantitative research and qualitative research. As the name suggests,
quantitive research is research involving a specific quantity or research, in other
words it is research that includes numbers such as statistics, sales figures or ratings
of any kind etc. Qualitative research is a lot more word and language orientated. This
could be either quotes or opinions on a matter. In terms of defining audiences, there
are various industries that measure audiences of television shows etc. In order to
give out relevant statistics and facts, these companies are known as RAJAR and
BARB. They usually do this by measuring viewership audiences and comparing
them with competition. As they measure there audiences with numbers, this is known
as quantitive data.
