Focus Groups vs In-Depth Interviews: When to Use Each

QUALITATIVE METHODS

Some truths come out in a lively group. Others only come out one-to-one.

Choose by the topic

Focus group

6 to 8 people discuss together. Great for reactions to ideas, ads and packaging.

In-depth interview

One person, one hour. Best for sensitive topics, experts and senior decision-makers.

Rule of thumb

Need ideas to bounce? Use a group. Need honesty or detail? Use an interview.
