Research Practice

Proprietary Research

Assignments address specific needs of our clients. Many are devoted to assessing opportunities in new markets as well as refining current offerings in existing markets.

Others assignments concern developing market intelligence and quantifying the distribution of building, tool and other products from manufacture to ultimate end-users. Still other studies encompass the design and refinement of products and services and the determination of their acceptance by the marketplace.

Ciprus multi-sponsored research closely resembles our proprietary research practice and is most often quantitative in nature. Research samples are most often in excess of 1,000 interviews and can range to 2,000. 

The issues and objectives are often quite complex and result in a robust body of data that provides subscribers with the ability to take deep dives into the data. 

Charter Subscribers to multi-client studies are able to take part in the study design, methodology and sample selection.
