Market in View successfully recruited study participants for a food industry client. Several shop-a-longs and in-home interviews were conducted in one of the major US markets. Participants were initially screened online and requalified via phone interviews. To insure the client’s target audience was achieved, special attention was given to their grocery store shopping preferences, their level of shopping participation, and specific demographics. Participants provided valuable feedback during each of the two hour sessions which contributed to the client’s market research, allowing them to craft marketing messages appropriate to attract new business and enhance the overall brand image.
