German term or phrase: Konsumentenforschung
I'm looking for the term used in this situation in English, translations of the parts of the German word. Here is the sentence:

Dadurch wird der xxxx zu einem wichtigen Instrument der Kundenbindung und Konsumentenforschung.
Ed Colaianni

consumer research


Explanation:
with "Konsumenten" being the consumer part and "Forschung" research. As a confirmation of sorts, since the compound isn't in any dictionaries that I could mention (not in my Romain, for example), the Northern Light Search engine showed 10 hits for sites that had both the German and the English versions of the term(s). One such site that came up is listed below. I can't tell you much about its content, but maybe it will help you with the rest of your project in some way.
Good luck.

Explanation:
Just an added note that may be of use:
one of the companies for whom I work uses the term customer retention for Kundenbindung.
