company history

TroyResearch president Bill Troy has spoken to groups all over the country to explain where the Internet fits as a modern market research tool. The story begins in your kitchen!

Think back to before you had your very first microwave oven:

1. You probably didn't know exactly why you needed one. You were able to create meals just fine with the tools you had.

2. Once you got a microwave oven, however, it was so fast and convenient that you used it more and more. Today, it is probably the most frequently used cooking tool you have!

3. Despite its importance, the microwave probably did not replace any of the appliances that were in your kitchen before its arrival.

4. The end result, then, is that the microwave oven increased the overall capabilities of your kitchen, allowing you to do things that were not possible before.

As a research tool, the Internet is like the microwave oven of market research:

1. If you've never used Internet research methodologies, you probably don't know exactly why you'd need to.

2. Once you start, however, it will be so fast and convenient that you'll use it more and more. In the long run, the Internet is likely to be your most used market research approach. More and more companies are discovering the power of the web as a market research tool.

3. Despite its importance, the Internet will not completely replace traditional telephone, in-person or mail methodologies.

4. In the end, the Internet will increase the overall capabilities of your market research arsenal just like the microwave increased the capabilities of your kitchen. You will be able to do things that were not possible before!

Combining Internet techniques with the right mix of traditional methodologies is the secret behind our stated mission: Doing What's Never Been Done Before.
