Research Methodologies

The foundation of MVS' consumer insight is our market research capabilities. We employ a comprehensive array of methods in our market research, and our mix of primary and secondary research generate the highest quality results.

Our research methods include but are not limited to:

  • internal data reviews
  • competitive research
  • secondary market research
  • intercept interviews & surveys
  • focus groups
  • retail customer interviews


However, even more important than having the right methodology is knowing the right people to talk to. We have extenstive industry contacts, and the tenacity to reach the right people for the best data. Our research goes beyond fact finding to get at the real truths from the people who matter.

Examples of our research in action include:

  • interviews with retail buyers to gain a first-hand look into category trends, brand reputations, and key competitors
  • "gap" analysis using interviews with customers at a restaurant before and after their meal, to gain authentic data on their brand perception and subsequent experience
