Custom Research

RRG provides a full range of custom research services, including design, implementation and analysis of results.

Following are listed some of the kinds of services we provide. Unfortunately, a list doesn’t easily make the important point: WE DESIGN STUDIES TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES AND PROVIDE INSIGHT.

We have developed unique sampling procedures for Hispanic telephone surveys that are widely used by practitioners today. For one of our clients, RRG adapted sophisticated general market ad testing techniques to the Hispanic Market segment. For another major client we developed a unique Purchase Tracking/Campaign Effectiveness design. As part of our APTtm Hispanic commercial testing service, we have tested the effectiveness (and have a normative base for) Spanish language commercials AND English language commercials.

These are just some examples of the pride we take in past accomplishments. Working with our clients, we hope the future will provide many more.

We have experience with one-on-ones/diads/triads/mini-groups, ethnographies and more traditional focus group structures. And, we have some interesting ideas about how to maximize the value of your qualitative projects.

Hispanic APT Copy Testing

RRG’s HISPANIC/APT commercial testing service combines a sophisticated research design with attention to detail and obsessive field supervision. The methodology employs a unique consumer response technique, with tests conducted in a “Laboratory” environment. The service provides three key measures of effectiveness: Persuasion, Recall, and Message Comprehension …and we’ve used the APT method to test the impact — among Hispanics — of TV commercials in Spanish AND in English.
