Our consumer research studies address non-leading questions to an appropriate universe of consumers. We follow survey design, execution, and presentation best practices that will satisfy judicial and adversarial scrutiny. We also have measures in place to minimize potential biases in data collection, and provide a complete analysis and reporting of survey data.
We utilize an industry-leading online survey software platform that facilitates the programming and execution of sophisticated survey designs, including complex skip logic and advanced rotation and randomization of questions, answer options, and stimuli.
We obtain our survey sample from leading marketing research companies that maintain multi-million-member online consumer panels. They are the top providers of survey sample in the U.S. and are used by leading marketing research firms.
