Digital Marketing - Study Notes:

Knowing the difference

It is important to think critically about your research or the research you discover. Being able to differentiate between strong research and possible false reports can lead to a profound impact on the decisions you take.

Some examples of types of research which should be examined closely include:

  • Absence of sources
  • Old information
  • Small sample sizes
  • Origin of the report
