If any person needs to write a marketing research proposal, he or she must be clear about what is needed and have the necessary knowledge for this relatively simple task. Such a proposal will need to have a cohesiveness, coherence and conciseness like all proposals must have. So the proposal has to have a clean and neat structure. The language used in the proposal needs to be persuasive and transparent in its clarity. Just like a jigsaw puzzle, all parts of a marketing research proposal need to fit together to present a complete whole.
An example can be a proposal for the customer loyalty research for the Blackberry Torch which is one of the products sold by some cellular companies. This model of the Blackberry is of fairly recent origin, but even so has had customers using it for some period, and their experience is what is required to be studied carefully for a correct proposal. Such research requires to be conducted because of certain reasons that have been compelling.
It is this reason that can determine the feasibility and necessity for such a study, as such studies need a lot of effort, money and time to start and sustain. So any proposal writer would need to see the entire thing form the point of view of the persons who would approve such a study. So unless such a reason is compelling enough, irrespective of whether the proposal is well written, it can fail to stand scrutiny.
Making a successful marketing research proposal does require related literature to be reviewed and researched thoroughly. If the facts presented in a proposal can make their own correct impact, then the writer will be aware that the work on the proposal has been well done. On the other hand, if the data gathered from sources that are felt or be reliable and authoritative is not convincing enough, the task itself will be said to be incomplete. So if the proposal falls flat and sounds stale it can be just like a poor pitch in baseball. This does not mean that the proposal has to be abandoned. It just needs for the writing to be honed till all bases are loaded.
