CONVENIENCE SAMPLING

Convenience sampling is defined as a method adopted by researchers where they


collect market research data from a conveniently available pool of respondents.
The researcher chooses members merely based on proximity and doesn’t consider
whether they represent the entire population or not. Using this technique, they can
observe habits, opinions, and viewpoints in the easiest possible manner.

Example:

A marketing student needs to get feedback on the “scope of content marketing in


2020.” The student may quickly create an online survey, send a link to all the contacts
on your phone, share a link on social media, and talk to people you meet daily, face-to-
face.
