Internal Sources • Company Accounts (the company you are working for) = Other teams of the company • Internal Reports and Analysis • For example, you want to develop new flavor of coffee for Tim Horton’s marketing department. If another sales team in Alberta has done similar market survey then you can use that data.

  6. Internal Sources • Stock Analysis • Retail data - loyalty cards, till data, etc. • For example, eveyone must buy COSTCO membership card. Every time you purchase at Costco, Costco can see what you are purchasing. They can see your spending pattern, (retail data) which they can use the information to develop new product or to stop carrying certain products.

External Sources • Government Statistics (ONS) – Office for National Statistics (UK)and Statistics Canada • Trade publications – magazines • Commercial Data - Gallup, Mintel, etc. • Gallup, Inc., is a research-based, global performance-management consulting company.
