Design/methodology/approach – In this context, five journals that only publish marketing-oriented publications (PPAD, PATU, TTAD, GİPAD and SOMI) were determined and the qualitative studies included here were handled within the framework of topics such as themes, designs, analysis techniques, data collection methods, reliability and validity was subjected to content analysis. Results – In the 33 articles examined, it is seen that most of the researchers did not shape their methodologies with any design.

The most used data collection method is interviews. Researchers have used different techniques such as triangulation, bracketing, peer review, purposive sampling in order to increase validity and reliability.
