Secondary data, on the other hand, is reused primary data; it assesses the accumulated information and then uses that to reassess and improve its product. It also relies on the data collected during a past period to restructure the product in different ways.
The primary data that I would need in connection with Leftfoot are the following:
I would like to know which of these shoe products are the most popular; which the least popular; and which have potential for popularity in the future?
I would like to know the mean number of consumers that frequent this site: what draws them to this site; repels them; how I can structure this site so that it appears more appealing to them.
