Companies want to know what their customers and people in general feel about their products or services so that they can make them better and sell more of them.  Many companies ask their own customers through surveys, which are a list of questions that the company has made to find out how they feel about their products and services.  They call their customers directly, send them the surveys to fill out or ask them to fill out the surveys online.  This way the company can gauge whether their customers will buy from them again or how to make their product better so that their customers do buy from them again.  Also, the company can find out how to sell more products or services similar to the ones they are already selling, thereby filling more needs and wants of customers.


Companies want to grow their business beyond their current customers and to do so, must find out how their products or services are perceived by those who are not currently their customers.  They spend a lot of money to find out how to grow their business and they depend on the feedback they get from people to find out what it would take for someone to buy their products or what the perception of their product is in the market.


The way companies find out what people think of them is to develop surveys, which are a list of questions that they have about what people think about their products and what the demographics of these people are (for example, their ages, where they live, size of their family, likes and dislikes).  They either send out surveys through the mail, set up online surveys or they set up offline and online focus groups.  Focus groups are a group of people who have been specifically selected to get together and answer questions in more depth than the surveys can.  The companies match answers to the survey questions with demographic information to fine-tune their products or services, making their products or services more appealing and therefore more saleable to people. 


Companies spend a lot of money to find out what people think of their products or services because it not only helps them to make their products more saleable, it also helps them to get the edge on their competition.  Your opinion is powerful to them.
