Bias Considerations:
Sampling Bias:
● This bias may occur if the collected data is not representative of the entire
customer base. It could arise if the data is skewed towards specific
demographics or user behaviors.
Questionnaire Bias:
● If customer feedback is collected through surveys, questionnaire bias may
occur if the questions are leading or if respondents provide socially
desirable answers.
Interpretation Bias:
● The interpretation of metrics and data may be influenced by preconceived
notions or expectations, leading to biased analyses and decision-making.
In conclusion, the success of the marketing strategy for Grainger hinges on effective
data collection and analysis. By carefully considering biases and implementing
mitigation strategies, the insights derived from the data will be more accurate, leading
