This is an exciting and significant landmark in MSS' evolution.
Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) April 09, 2015
Ten years ago, Kevin Moran founded a world leading, market research company designed to reinvent the dynamic of researching the consumer purchase process. Kevin’s inspiration came from a simple request he made when ordering a drink while out with friends. Upon ordering a Vodka & Tonic, the bartender recommended it be made with Grey Goose vodka. The thought of which brand to order never entered Kevin’s mind until that moment. This prompted the question “why?” Why would the bartender recommend that particular brand? What was his motivation?
These questions formed the foundation of MSS. Kevin formed a team and began surveying bartenders on which spirits brands they recommended and more importantly, what made them recommend one brand more so than another. The past ten years have been spent adding additional categories for research. The sales professional recommending cell phones, TVs, appliances, tires, oil and more – in fact, 17 different categories in all – and continuing to grow.
In addition to the key Influencer Impact Tracking studies, MSS also offers many innovative research products; including, the MSS Brand Power Index, Key Derived Recommendation Drivers Analysis, Sales Driver Optimization Model, Budget Allocation Model and more. MSS’ innovative techniques have made market research more insightful, innovative and inspirational at the same time as making it more cost effective.
