With qualitative research, customers are allowed more than a satisfaction rating scale and yes or no, they are allowed to explain their opinions, which gives specialist a deeper perspective when forming a hypothesis. With quantitative, specialists are allowed through data collection to run scenarios and possible outcomes for campaigns, or adjustments to campaigns through using past reactions and data collected.
