Survey Methodology
Keegan & Donato Consulting approaches survey design and critique on a case-by-case basis. We work closely with our clients to understand the key issues driving their case, and work to maximize the value of consumer survey evidence to the overall case strategy.
To satisfy judicial and adversarial scrutiny, we follow survey design, execution and presentation best practices. Our consumer research studies direct objective, non-leading questions to an appropriate universe of consumers. Procedures are in place to minimize potential biases in data collection, and services include a full 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 top providers of survey sample in the U.S. and are used by leading marketing research firms.
Cost of Trademark Surveys
Keegan & Donato Consulting’s consumer research studies are custom-designed to meet the needs of your unique case. This may involve targeting specialized populations of respondents and developing unique designs to address the specific issues of importance in the case, factors that affect the time and level of difficulty of executing a study and its overall cost.
Most of our consumer studies cost between $30,000 and $80,000 to complete, and $55,000 is the most typical cost. We work on a fixed rate or hourly basis depending on your needs, and will work with you to design a survey that is both reliable and within your budget.
