    Insightful Consumer Research Services   Dakota's consumer research services include a wide variety of methods for retrieving the exact information you need at the exact time including:

    800 Consumer View. When you need quick and cost-effective, yet informative feedback on your customers' opinions on virtually any retailing issue, Dakota's 800 Consumer View is ideal. Through our unique incentive-based system, your customers call our automated outbound telephone interview system. This ensures your customers' convenience and cooperation, while providing you with the most thoughtful, honest, and meaningful responses to your critical questions on issues such as product selection, pricing, store design, and service. 800 Consumer View is especially suited to targeting specific problem areas and for gathering additional data to fine-tune planned changes prior to their implementation. You receive a tabulated report of your consumer responses and real-time voice recordings of their comments.

    Consumer View. How do your customers perceive your store or stores relative to your competition? The answer is crucial to optimizing your success strategies in any market. You can learn exactly how your consumers perceive your store and your competitors' stores in virtually all key areas through Dakota's in- depth and insightful Consumer View analysis. This dynamic store positioning tool shows you how well you're meeting your customers' needs and where you could improve. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your stores and of your competitors' stores means you can intelligently leverage your strengths and make strategic changes to improve your weaknesses.

    Consumer Needs Research. Are you surrounded by "opportunity clusters" for unmet consumer demands, but don't know what they are? Dakota can help you identifying every opportunity in your market by conducting highly-productive Consumer Needs research. Our Consumer Needs assessments quantify the relationships between consumer demand for new products, your competitors' strengths and convenience, and the likelihood of success in bringing a new product to market -- before you invest.

    Image Wave. Today, more than every before, markets are changing as demographics shift and new businesses move in. Knowing how all of the changes impact your stores is critical to your long-term success. Dakota's Image Wave market analysis surveys provide the perfect fast and cost-effective means to show an individual store's market share and departmental or category changes relative to your competition, over time. The Image Wave surveys, which are based on the Consumer View format, can also be used to view multiple locations and as a fine-tuning follow-up to previous market research.
