Market in View secures parental permission for tween participation following industry and federal guidelines. The project also draws out trends among a multitude of youth segments such as Hispanic Youth and College Students. |
| the results: | This study tracks wireless usage and behavior, monitors performance of industry players and assesses brand health in both the overall youth market (ages eight-24) and among specific youth subsets. This knowledge helps to better understand the marketplace landscape, as well as strengths and weaknesses. The study exposes trends such as periodic gains/losses in specific market segments, provider switching patterns, and customer satisfaction drivers.

Market in View offers ongoing custom support and ad-hoc analysis of portal data. Together, these features enable the client to understand the multi-faceted youth market and gauge its performance in order to make sound business decisions. |
