Advanced Survey Tech - Real Time Marketing Research

MARKET RESEARCH

Welcome To the New Age Of Research

Without current factual research by valid data, a company's marketing efforts will fail. There is no point for a business to advertise if it doesn't know or understand its customers' product requirements and desires. Advanced Survey Tech (AST) understands this and has the most advanced data-gathering technical solution available: the innovative AST Survey Kiosk.

• Telemarketing and telephone surveys are nearly extinct; thus producing at best questionable marketing research results.

• Direct mail surveys are hit-or-miss, with any mailed surveys usually getting tossed out as junk mail.

AST has a different concept and approach: we place the questions right where shoppers are to be found in the greatest concentration - the malls, entertainment centers or at sporting events. The questions are integrated within our extremely attractive AST kiosks that contain the newest technology in LCD touch-screen monitors. AST kiosks ask the questions, and we relay the answers directly to our clients. Contact us now if you want to begin immediately.

The needs of customers are continually changing. Their wants increase, and they're looking for greater product selection. How is a manufacturer, or product marketer, to know what to provide to the public? Market research data tells us that. The fast collection of objective marketing research data is crucial to any business, and Advanced Survey Tech, has the technical solution to obtain viable data.

CREATING INCENTIVES

How does AST coax sufficient data from the shopping public?

By means of prize incentives: A simple honest exchange of volunteered information for coupons and drawing entries to in-store or in-dealership contests. To be eligible for coupons to restaurants, sporting events, conventions, expos or movies, for example, shoppers must participate in a brief survey while providing complete contact information.

The coupons and prizes offered through the AST kiosk survey program are exclusive and will not be available anywhere else. How do the participants receive the coupons, or tickets? The coupons and tickets are printed inside the AST kiosk and then dispensed immediately after respondents take the survey. These coupons are redeemable in those shopping malls the same day they are printed.

Then their names would be added to win the grand prize. Imagine the incentive attraction power on a shopper if the grand prize for taking an AST kiosk survey is

For such payoffs, shoppers are more than eager to provide the answers to our client's strategically crafted and focused marketing research surveys.

COMPETITIVE RATES

Because of the AST innovative survey technology and methodology, we are able to sharply reduce the effects of labor costs on the products we provide. Telemarketing companies quote estimates for a proposed job, but the costs are based on how many hours their employees spend on the phone. Instead of paying by each survey completed, telemarketing clients pay for employee breaks, training, incomplete surveys, and most costly, a failure to get consumers to participate in the survey. Home phones are being placed on 'do not call' lists and coupled with the widespread use of cell phone, increasing numbers of telemarketing survey prospects have literally become unavailable.

In contrast, AST charges a flat fee per survey based on the length of the survey, quotas, qualifying questions, and coupons that are given to participants. Our rates are better controlled, and lower than those of the telemarketing companies. For example: If your company has the equivalent of one page of questions and wants 10,000 completed surveys (no quotas and no qualifying questions), a typical bid for your project would be a flat $2 per survey, and one dollar for the printed coupons, or $30,000.

AST's fee is at least 40% less than the most competitively priced telemarketers.
