We help you understand your customers, visitors or clients by refining your marketing strategy through the power of research. Through quantitative and qualitative methods, we peer behind the curtain to see what makes people, organizations or entities tick. We look at motivations, trends and technology and peel away the vagueness and ambiguity that may filter the way you look at groups or situations.
These services can be tailored for your organization:
Frequently asked questions about research:
How much do research studies cost?
It is surprisingly less than you think. Cost is largely dependent upon the requirements and scope of a particular project. Tourism Skills Group will provide you an estimate that is good for sixty days.
Why should I have research conducted?
Research provides you the roadmap in which to make educated decisions. It will allow you to make better advertising choices and give you the tools to decide who to market to. Also, it will allow you to know what products and services are working and which need tweaking. In fact, research will save you money in the long run as you will know where best to put your marketing dollars instead of just randomly choosing publications you have a “hunch” that work! We recommend that every organization put aside at least 8% of their budget towards research. There is a reason that Proctor and Gamble invests heavily into research – ‘cause it works!
Does it take long to complete the survey process once started?
It really depend upon the sample size you request; in addition, the ease of contacting survey participants matters. We estimate it would take about three to four months to complete an intercept survey and provide our research and recommendations once the survey is approved.
