Market in View was challenged with the recruitment of three specific segments of youth (Urban Youth, Sports Inspired Youth, and Suburban Athletes) to participate in a study for the footwear apparel industry. Youth who collect exclusive or limited edition footwear and have a sense of the desirability and value of specific brands were needed to participate. Though the subject of the challenge was unique, the ideal participants were located and recruited for full participation in a 3-hour interview.
