Each year, Marketing Matrix conducts a series of cost-efficient
multi-client research studies on topics of interest to the
investment, insurance and banking industries. As you review
these studies, consider how the strategic and tactical information
gained can help you modify and improve your communications
and reduce costs. These studies have successfully
contributed to the creation of more effective literature
and, in some cases, the elimination of marginal pieces.
As always, we will work with you to customize these studies for
your benefit. We do this by:
- Helping you add your own questions.
- Including your selling brokers,
financial advisers and producers in the mix.
In addition you will receive:
- On-going access to Marketing Matrix professionals.
- A private on-site consulting session for you and your associates.
- A full written report.
These studies to be conducted in the Fall
of 2015.
