Our turnaround time averages less than 5 days in-house for survey processing.

As an additional option, questionnaires may be printed in-house on our state-of-the-art equipment, if traditional printing methods do not meet your timeframes.
Value Pricing
Surprisingly enough, our customized packages are competitive with other firms’ “off-the-shelf” survey package pricing. Our philosophy is that off-the-shelf surveys rarely work for every organization, and you deserve a customized product that meets your needs — without breaking the bank.
We also offer significant discounts for high volume work and repeat business. Substantial savings are provided on subsequent runs of the questionnaire, as design and programming costs are absorbed with the first run. Trend information is always available at no additional charge.
Easy to Interpret Results
We believe that no survey research project is worth doing unless the results are actionable. That’s why we have designed reports in an easy to use format that includes charts, graphs, and data tables. Write-in comments are typed verbatim — never scanned — and can be categorized, quantified and analyzed. Executive Summaries are also available.
Just as all questionnaires are customized, we will also work with your organization to develop a report format that meets your needs. Reports can be produced in color, black and white, or on transparency film, or they can be designed as a PowerPoint presentation. They can be generated on paper or saved to a CD-ROM, totally eliminating printed material.
Our clients use marketing research information to measure customer satisfaction, generate greater sales, and make better strategic decisions. Our services are high quality with fast personal service and affordable rates for our mail, phone and internet surveys, services and products.
We look forward to serving you in the future.
