Exploring your quantitative Research can help you move beyond the seemingly simple answers to survey questions. By looking into the who, what, why and where’s of your research data, you may discover more valued data.
Why
Your quantitative research primarily gathers numerical statistics, but to understand the motivation behind such figures open ended questions are essential in attaining this crucial information, that will benefit you further into your research
Who
Asking the consumer directly can help you gain an understanding the motivators.

This can provide additional and valued information than simply just asking the consumer closed ended questions
Where
