Happy New Year, and welcome to the January 2007 Research Edition of NPD Insights. This month I am pleased to share with you some findings from a joint industry study conducted by The NPD Group and two other research firms, in which we examine the size and influence of heavy survey responders in the United States. We learned that frequent survey takers are not having an undue influence in market research results.
We’ve also added an “Ask the Researchers” section this month, where NPD’s research scientists answer some of the more frequently asked questions we hear from our clients. We invite you to send us your questions for future editions; you’ll see it published and receive a personal response from one of our experts.
Wishing you a great 2007,
Steve Coffey
Chief Research Officer
The NPD Group, Inc.
