Group FacilitiesMarketing ResearchGroupNetª consists of the leading market research facilities across the country. There are currently 33 members located in major markets from coast to coast. In 1994, several premiere market research companies decided
to pool their skills and resources to form a larger alliance. The criteria
for companies' wishing to join were that they be in a desirable market and
independently owned and operated. They then had to pass a physical inspection
and reference check to ensure they offered superior recruiting services and
outstanding facilities. Finally, admittance was determined by a vote of current
members. These same standards apply to any new company who wishes to join.
This consolidation provides an easy solution to the problems involved in coordinating
a market research campaign in several markets. Consistency and quality are
ensured from the very beginning. GroupNetª handles coordination so you don't
have to waste time getting all the pieces to fall in place. All members adhere
to the standards set by the national Marketing Research Association. For more
