A History of Quantitative Research
Sixty years ago, our grandmother, Mary Jane Peters, went door-to-door with a sewing machine, asking women to use it and she followed-up with a series of questions. It was one of her very first projects. It was an In-Home Usage Test (IHUT) and, 60 years later, her granddaughters and a team of exceptional colleagues are still conducting IHUTs...they just look a little different!
Peters Marketing Research (PMR) has specialized in Quantitative Research for 60 years.
We offer project design, questionnaire development, recruiting, project management and final reporting. We are your one-stop shop for all-things Quant!
Central Location Testing (CLT)

A Leader in the Recruiting Process
Do you know why Peters Marketing Research is able to recruit the most qualified respondents for your qualitative and quantitative projects?
We have spent the last 20 years developing, enhancing and perfecting our proprietary screening and recruiting software. Our system allows us to control the accuracy of each recruit while making the process highly efficient. Furthermore, we have the area's largest opt-in database of consumers, healthcare professionals and business leaders.
Here's how it works!
Step 1: We send a preliminary questionnaire to potential recruits. This is sent via email or text, giving candidates the ability to decide how and when they want to be screened.
Step 2: Our system analyzes the completed answers and targets the most qualified candidates based on screener specifications and quotas.
Step 3: Candidates are contacted via phone; double-checking questionnaire responses for accuracy and ensuring they meet articulation standards.
Step 4: Candidates are booked and they are now an official project recruit!
You can feel safe knowing each of your recruits were screened accurately and efficiently.
We are a leader in perfecting the many details of the recruiting process. Please contact us for your next project to learn more about how we can work for you!

Enhanced Recruiting
We appreciate your projects and work constantly to maintain a high level of expertise in all areas of our services.
Today, a few details about why our recruiting process is the St. Louis area's best.
Our combination of over 150,000+ opt-in consumer and medical members, internally developed and constantly enhanced recruiting software and a steadfast and experienced staff yields the area's most efficient and precise project recruiting.
We contact our members in a variety of ways, which they themselves can select. While email is still used most frequently, our current focus is directed towards increasing the number of members who allow texting contact as an option. We currently have in excess of 15,000 members (with that number increasing daily) who have indicated that texting may be used as a contact option, the option favored by many mobile users. This is just another way we can ensure a higher respondent contact percentage and project participation rate.
We constantly upgrade our ability to locate and recruit your desired respondents!
Call, email or text to talk about your next recruit!

Peters Marketing Research: Your Central Location Test (CLT) Experts
In 1965, when faced with the challenge of reaching specific consumers who could not be found by going door-to-door or visiting the local shopping centers, Peters Marketing Research made the decision to "go mobile."
The custom-designed Mobile Testing Unit (MTU) was built exclusively for Peters Marketing Research and was used all around town to connect clients to the voices of their consumers. This was something no one else in the business was doing at the time. Pictured here: Company President, Joe Peters, as he received the keys to our MTU!
Fast forward to 2016, our company is still mobile (though in a different sense) and remains above the cutting edge, thanks to our advanced in-house software, IT staff, project managers, recruiters...and everyone in between.

Recruiting Services
At Peters Marketing Research (PMR), we recruit people. All kinds of people. From consumers and patients to business owners and medical professionals. If you need people - we have the people you need.
Clients rely on our ability to connect specific individuals with the most relevant online surveys, focus groups, tests (central location and in-home usage) and interviews (in-depth and web-enabled). Here at PMR, we take recruitment seriously.
The Process
Candidate selection is a methodical process. We start by emailing a targeted group chosen from thousands of opt-in database members. Next, links are provided for a quick connection to our very own secure online pre-screener system. Potential recruits are then taken via telephone through the entire screener series with a PMR trained interviewer. The final step: qualified recruits are booked for a specific marketing research project. It is a straightforward and disciplined process due to years of perfecting our recruiting technique.
The Results
At PMR, our systems sort through collected data 24/7/365. We have the largest databases of consumers, medical professionals and business owners in the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Our online screening - combined with on-site interviewer accuracy - provides the highest quality respondent available in the marketplace.
To find out more, or for a quote, call Katie Peters Miller at (314) 469-9022 or email Katie@petersmktg.com!
Supporting Our Industry
We love every type of marketing research. It's in our blood...we can't help it! That's why it was our pleasure to sponsor the annual QRCA Conference last week in Orlando, FL. QRCA...representing real quality in qualitative research! We hope everyone who attended enjoyed the conference!

Summertime Is Still Hot At PMR
Hot weather. Cold weather. Rainy weather. We have it all summer long in St. Louis...sometimes within a 24-hour timeframe.
At Peters Marketing Research (PMR), our ever-changing summer is quickly winding down and fall is just around the corner. Sure, we had time to relax and enjoy this season, but that didn't stop us from accomplishing some pretty fabulous achievements.
Shhhh: Test-Taking Zone
The number of quantitative tests conducted during the past few months was extensive, ranging from taste and in-home use tests to online research and TDIs. We've also recruited more than 85 qualitative projects that took place at our state-of-the-art facility, as well as both online and at some of our local partner's facilities.
Going And Growing
Our quickly expanding consumer database did just that: grew...by more than 4,100 new eligible members. This increase solidifies our position of possessing St. Louis' largest consumer database.
Service With A Smile
We recently added a new email server, which affects our database contact and screening processes. The hardware was replaced, and a significant software rewrite was installed. The result: your potential respondents - for both qualitative and quantitative projects - can now be contacted more efficiently and screened more precisely. A win-win for both of us!
Onward And Upward
Congratulations to Will Lucas, who was promoted to Qualitative Research Project Manager. His PMR background includes serving as both a Qualitative Assistant Project Manager and a Recruiting Specialist for several years. While many may have already worked with Will, we look forward to the rest of you meeting him. Will's experience, attention to detail and enthusiasm have already enabled him to be a solid project manager.
As the summer starts to set and we move into fall, we at Peters Marketing Research look forward to yet another stellar season of sharing many more successes...together.

Peters Marketing Research: Developing On Our Own
For over 50 years Peters Marketing Research (PMR) has been recruiting and conducting qualitative and quantitative research for consumer, medical and business products and services. We've done it all with our own in-house recruiting and interviewing software.
Developing our own software has been no small task, but we have never been a company known for doing things on a small scale. Our supervisors, project managers, programmers and IT professionals work daily to enhance our systems based on your needs and our years of recruiting and interviewing experience.
Why have we always chosen to develop our own recruiting and survey software?
Because our vision exceeded the technology available - so we made it ourselves.
Let me give you an example of what we can do daily at PMR because of the efficiency and precision of our software:
Monday afternoon- we were asked to recruit 50 Pet Owners for 5 Thursday afternoon and evening focus groups. Tuesday- we programmed the 20-question screener, prepared the online preliminary questionnaire, tested and generated a targeted email to our database and pressed send. Our system worked overnight to generate answers from over 800 potential recruits while we enjoyed the evening with our families. Wednesday morning- we contacted the 50 best qualified respondents via telephone to validate their responses, gage articulation and book them to an appropriate group. Thursday afternoon and evening- the moderator conducted 5 successful rounds of focus groups with praise for the participation and quality of the recruits.
Our processes and technology are efficient, precise and flexible; allowing for constant system enhancements, adding requested features whenever necessary and all in-house! Contact PMR today for your next research (or recruiting) project.

Getting Your Two Cents' Worth
There are times when getting someone's "two cents" on a topic is priceless. Other times, it's practically worthless. At Peters Marketing Research, our job is to make sure you're always getting more than your two cents' worth.
Industry Experts
For more than 50 years, while implementing both qualitative and quantitative projects, marketing research recruiting has been a major part of our business. In fact, we were "Top Rated" for the 20th consecutive year by The Impulse Guide of Focus Group Facilities, a feat achieved by less than 1% of firms in the world.
An even closer look at The Impulse Guide reveals another fact we're just as proud of: More moderators and researchers gave their two cents about Peters than any other company in the state.
Recruiting & Technology Whizzes
Being headquartered in St. Louis for our entire history, we have developed the area's largest consumer and medical databases. We have also partnered with recruiting providers nationwide so that we can connect you to your target in practically no time.
Thanks to a completely revised and user-friendly mobile platform technology created by our IT staff, it's simple for our respondents to complete your initial screening questionnaires and online surveys.
Accessible Wherever, Whenever
Located just 15 minutes from Lambert St. Louis International Airport, the facilities at PMR are home to the latest technologies for optimal quantitative and qualitative research, not to mention a wide variety of creature comforts and amenities.
Of course, we also have the capability and technology to recruit for and conduct any offsite or online projects, should you or your team require it.
Get the most out of your research dollar - two cents at a time - from the respondents you value most.

We offer more than 50 years of experience, insight and know-how to make sure your project is cost effective, efficient and hassle free. No need to worry about the details, big or small. PMR thought about those yesterday.
National Presence
Central Location Tests, In-Home Use Tests, online surveys--everything we do is executed in a seamless and timely manner, whether the project is conducted through our St. Louis headquarters or one of our partner facilities across the country. In fact, over the years, we've developed a nationwide network of quantitative suppliers that we trust implicitly. And you can count on to deliver.
Highly-Trained Staff
In addition to Adverse Events training, we've undergone in-house training of Standard Operating Procedures and Product Quality Complaints. If your project requires additional Quality Control training, we're on board!
Technology
The motivated minds at PMR are constantly working to provide new and better ways to conduct research. For example, respondents now can upload videos of themselves completing a specific task to pmrsurveys.com, our safe and secure survey site. We then access the footage and adjust and package it to fit your specific needs.
Reliable Results
We're experts at interpreting and reporting data. We can provide statistical analysis and support from the simple to the complex. We deliver reliable results thanks, in part, to our many checks and balances. And we can present those results in a report style of your choosing (PowerPoint, Excel, Word).
Experienced, effective, comprehensive and client-focused. PMR is up for any quant challenge you bring us. And more prepared than ever to make sure it--and you--are a success.

Report Cards Are In
Remember report card time back in grade school?
Depending on how studious you were, that's either a good memory or a bad one. If it's good, no doubt you also remember rushing home to show off your grades to your parents.
Well, when it comes to the report card of research facilities, we recently received some high marks of our own. So--fair warning--we're about to brag.
According to the Impulse Guide of Focus Facilities, Peters Marketing Research is a "Top Rated" facility for an impressive 20th year.
Our 20th "Top Rated" designation puts Peters in a small, but elite group. In fact, it's an accomplishment achieved by only 9 out of more than 800 facilities in the world.
The Impulse Guide, an annual publication, surveys thousands of moderators and researchers to rate the quality of hundreds of facilities. In every category, from recruiting and personnel to facility and value, Peters received high marks.
What might be equally rewarding--and a testament to the strength of our rankings--is the fact that Peters was reviewed by close to 80 moderators and researchers. The St. Louis area facility with the next highest number of reviewers had 40.
To everyone who took the time to rate Peters for the 2014 edition of the Impulse Guide, we'd like to pass along our thanks. And a promise: As proud as we are of our high marks this past year, we're committed to an even more remarkable future.
And our 21st "Top-Rated" designation in next year's Guide.

Pet Owner Research: Just One Type Of Research We Do Quite Well
According to the American Pet Products Association, 68% of U.S. households (more than 82 million homes) own a pet. That's a lot of pets...and a lot of opportunities to learn about their owners and the products they use.

Pictures and videos make all the difference when respondents evaluate the following:
FYI...Peters Marketing Research is a proud Silver Sponsor of the Qualitative Research Consultants Association's (QRCA) annual conference, (October 16 - 18 in San Diego), as well as the Marketing Research Association's (MRA) Corporate Researchers' conference (October 16 - 18 in Dallas.)

Technology has to be invented or adopted.
- Jared Diamond, scientist and author
More than 20 years ago, Peters Marketing Research (PMR) made a revolutionary commitment to invest in technology that would make far-reaching research opportunities possible. Since the necessary software was not available at that time, we developed it ourselves. And that was just the beginning.
Our proprietary software gave us an edge over our competition...and it still holds true today. We remain an industry leader when it comes to development and research capabilities. Our IT team has doubled since PMR's inception due to our dedication and desire to be the best in the business.
Today we can reach thousands of potential respondents in just a day, ensure implementation uniformity at all of our CLT partner locations...and guarantee precision recruiting without bias. Our newest sought-after service: national medical professional's recruitment that involves highly refined screening software to ensure precise screening of this very important group.

We've screened and hosted many interviews and focus groups, recruited for offsite testing, in-home ethnographies and in-store shop-a-longs and given many facility tours.

In the midst of our hard work, we decided to redecorate a bit. We've added new and oh-so-comfortable moderator and client viewing room chairs along with beautiful fresh artwork. Take a look around the website for new photos.
Katie Peters Miller, VP of Qualitative Research, gave birth to her second son, Wyatt, in May. She is happy to be back at the facility and ready to work with you on your next qualitative project!

A History of Quantitative Research
Sixty years ago, our grandmother, Mary Jane Peters, went door-to-door with a sewing machine, asking women to use it and she followed-up with a series of questions. It was one of her very first projects. It was an In-Home Usage Test (IHUT) and, 60 years later, her granddaughters and a team of exceptional colleagues are still conducting IHUTs...they just look a little different!
Peters Marketing Research (PMR) has specialized in Quantitative Research for 60 years.
We offer project design, questionnaire development, recruiting, project management and final reporting. We are your one-stop shop for all-things Quant!

A Leader in the Recruiting Process
Do you know why Peters Marketing Research is able to recruit the most qualified respondents for your qualitative and quantitative projects?
We have spent the last 20 years developing, enhancing and perfecting our proprietary screening and recruiting software. Our system allows us to control the accuracy of each recruit while making the process highly efficient. Furthermore, we have the area's largest opt-in database of consumers, healthcare professionals and business leaders.
Here's how it works!
Step 1: We send a preliminary questionnaire to potential recruits. This is sent via email or text, giving candidates the ability to decide how and when they want to be screened.
Step 2: Our system analyzes the completed answers and targets the most qualified candidates based on screener specifications and quotas.
Step 3: Candidates are contacted via phone; double-checking questionnaire responses for accuracy and ensuring they meet articulation standards.
Step 4: Candidates are booked and they are now an official project recruit!
You can feel safe knowing each of your recruits were screened accurately and efficiently.
We are a leader in perfecting the many details of the recruiting process. Please contact us for your next project to learn more about how we can work for you!

Enhanced Recruiting
We appreciate your projects and work constantly to maintain a high level of expertise in all areas of our services.
Today, a few details about why our recruiting process is the St. Louis area's best.
Our combination of over 150,000+ opt-in consumer and medical members, internally developed and constantly enhanced recruiting software and a steadfast and experienced staff yields the area's most efficient and precise project recruiting.
We contact our members in a variety of ways, which they themselves can select. While email is still used most frequently, our current focus is directed towards increasing the number of members who allow texting contact as an option. We currently have in excess of 15,000 members (with that number increasing daily) who have indicated that texting may be used as a contact option, the option favored by many mobile users. This is just another way we can ensure a higher respondent contact percentage and project participation rate.
We constantly upgrade our ability to locate and recruit your desired respondents!

Peters Marketing Research: Your Central Location Test (CLT) Experts
In 1965, when faced with the challenge of reaching specific consumers who could not be found by going door-to-door or visiting the local shopping centers, Peters Marketing Research made the decision to "go mobile."

This was something no one else in the business was doing at the time. Pictured here: Company President, Joe Peters, as he received the keys to our MTU!
Fast forward to 2016, our company is still mobile (though in a different sense) and remains above the cutting edge, thanks to our advanced in-house software, IT staff, project managers, recruiters...and everyone in between.

Recruiting Services
At Peters Marketing Research (PMR), we recruit people. All kinds of people. From consumers and patients to business owners and medical professionals. If you need people - we have the people you need.
Clients rely on our ability to connect specific individuals with the most relevant online surveys, focus groups, tests (central location and in-home usage) and interviews (in-depth and web-enabled). Here at PMR, we take recruitment seriously.
The Process
Candidate selection is a methodical process. We start by emailing a targeted group chosen from thousands of opt-in database members. Next, links are provided for a quick connection to our very own secure online pre-screener system. Potential recruits are then taken via telephone through the entire screener series with a PMR trained interviewer. The final step: qualified recruits are booked for a specific marketing research project. It is a straightforward and disciplined process due to years of perfecting our recruiting technique.
The Results
At PMR, our systems sort through collected data 24/7/365. We have the largest databases of consumers, medical professionals and business owners in the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Our online screening - combined with on-site interviewer accuracy - provides the highest quality respondent available in the marketplace.
To find out more, or for a quote, call Katie Peters Miller at (314) 469-9022 or email Katie@petersmktg.com!
Supporting Our Industry
We love every type of marketing research. It's in our blood...we can't help it! That's why it was our pleasure to sponsor the annual QRCA Conference last week in Orlando, FL. QRCA...representing real quality in qualitative research! We hope everyone who attended enjoyed the conference!

Summertime Is Still Hot At PMR
Hot weather. Cold weather. Rainy weather. We have it all summer long in St. Louis...sometimes within a 24-hour timeframe.
At Peters Marketing Research (PMR), our ever-changing summer is quickly winding down and fall is just around the corner. Sure, we had time to relax and enjoy this season, but that didn't stop us from accomplishing some pretty fabulous achievements.
Shhhh: Test-Taking Zone
The number of quantitative tests conducted during the past few months was extensive, ranging from taste and in-home use tests to online research and TDIs. We've also recruited more than 85 qualitative projects that took place at our state-of-the-art facility, as well as both online and at some of our local partner's facilities.
Going And Growing
Our quickly expanding consumer database did just that: grew...by more than 4,100 new eligible members. This increase solidifies our position of possessing St. Louis' largest consumer database.
Service With A Smile
We recently added a new email server, which affects our database contact and screening processes. The hardware was replaced, and a significant software rewrite was installed. The result: your potential respondents - for both qualitative and quantitative projects - can now be contacted more efficiently and screened more precisely. A win-win for both of us!
Onward And Upward
Congratulations to Will Lucas, who was promoted to Qualitative Research Project Manager. His PMR background includes serving as both a Qualitative Assistant Project Manager and a Recruiting Specialist for several years. While many may have already worked with Will, we look forward to the rest of you meeting him. Will's experience, attention to detail and enthusiasm have already enabled him to be a solid project manager.
As the summer starts to set and we move into fall, we at Peters Marketing Research look forward to yet another stellar season of sharing many more successes...together.

12.) Thank you so much. The groups were absolutely amazing. I wish you could have seen the men's group...they were perfect! Thank you so much & please pass on our gratitude to your team for their conscientiousness. The videographer was great too.
13.) Thanks so much for your dedication and hard work on this project! It went really well! It is pretty likely we will be back in a few months to follow up on this. I will look forward to working with you again! All the best!

Peters Marketing Research: Developing On Our Own
For over 50 years Peters Marketing Research (PMR) has been recruiting and conducting qualitative and quantitative research for consumer, medical and business products and services. We've done it all with our own in-house recruiting and interviewing software.
Developing our own software has been no small task, but we have never been a company known for doing things on a small scale. Our supervisors, project managers, programmers and IT professionals work daily to enhance our systems based on your needs and our years of recruiting and interviewing experience.
Why have we always chosen to develop our own recruiting and survey software?
Because our vision exceeded the technology available - so we made it ourselves.
Let me give you an example of what we can do daily at PMR because of the efficiency and precision of our software:
Monday afternoon- we were asked to recruit 50 Pet Owners for 5 Thursday afternoon and evening focus groups. Tuesday- we programmed the 20-question screener, prepared the online preliminary questionnaire, tested and generated a targeted email to our database and pressed send. Our system worked overnight to generate answers from over 800 potential recruits while we enjoyed the evening with our families. Wednesday morning- we contacted the 50 best qualified respondents via telephone to validate their responses, gage articulation and book them to an appropriate group. Thursday afternoon and evening- the moderator conducted 5 successful rounds of focus groups with praise for the participation and quality of the recruits.
Our processes and technology are efficient, precise and flexible; allowing for constant system enhancements, adding requested features whenever necessary and all in-house! Contact PMR today for your next research (or recruiting) project.

Getting Your Two Cents' Worth
There are times when getting someone's "two cents" on a topic is priceless. Other times, it's practically worthless. At Peters Marketing Research, our job is to make sure you're always getting more than your two cents' worth.
Industry Experts
For more than 50 years, while implementing both qualitative and quantitative projects, marketing research recruiting has been a major part of our business. In fact, we were "Top Rated" for the 20th consecutive year by The Impulse Guide of Focus Group Facilities, a feat achieved by less than 1% of firms in the world.
An even closer look at The Impulse Guide reveals another fact we're just as proud of: More moderators and researchers gave their two cents about Peters than any other company in the state.
Recruiting & Technology Whizzes
Being headquartered in St. Louis for our entire history, we have developed the area's largest consumer and medical databases. We have also partnered with recruiting providers nationwide so that we can connect you to your target in practically no time.
Thanks to a completely revised and user-friendly mobile platform technology created by our IT staff, it's simple for our respondents to complete your initial screening questionnaires and online surveys.
Accessible Wherever, Whenever
Located just 15 minutes from Lambert St. Louis International Airport, the facilities at PMR are home to the latest technologies for optimal quantitative and qualitative research, not to mention a wide variety of creature comforts and amenities.
Of course, we also have the capability and technology to recruit for and conduct any offsite or online projects, should you or your team require it.
Get the most out of your research dollar - two cents at a time - from the respondents you value most.

We offer more than 50 years of experience, insight and know-how to make sure your project is cost effective, efficient and hassle free. No need to worry about the details, big or small. PMR thought about those yesterday.
National Presence
Central Location Tests, In-Home Use Tests, online surveys--everything we do is executed in a seamless and timely manner, whether the project is conducted through our St. Louis headquarters or one of our partner facilities across the country. In fact, over the years, we've developed a nationwide network of quantitative suppliers that we trust implicitly. And you can count on to deliver.
Highly-Trained Staff
In addition to Adverse Events training, we've undergone in-house training of Standard Operating Procedures and Product Quality Complaints. If your project requires additional Quality Control training, we're on board!
Technology
The motivated minds at PMR are constantly working to provide new and better ways to conduct research. For example, respondents now can upload videos of themselves completing a specific task to pmrsurveys.com, our safe and secure survey site. We then access the footage and adjust and package it to fit your specific needs.
Reliable Results
We're experts at interpreting and reporting data. We can provide statistical analysis and support from the simple to the complex. We deliver reliable results thanks, in part, to our many checks and balances. And we can present those results in a report style of your choosing (PowerPoint, Excel, Word).
Experienced, effective, comprehensive and client-focused. PMR is up for any quant challenge you bring us. And more prepared than ever to make sure it--and you--are a success.

Report Cards Are In
Remember report card time back in grade school?
Depending on how studious you were, that's either a good memory or a bad one. If it's good, no doubt you also remember rushing home to show off your grades to your parents.
Well, when it comes to the report card of research facilities, we recently received some high marks of our own. So--fair warning--we're about to brag.
According to the Impulse Guide of Focus Facilities, Peters Marketing Research is a "Top Rated" facility for an impressive 20th year.
Our 20th "Top Rated" designation puts Peters in a small, but elite group. In fact, it's an accomplishment achieved by only 9 out of more than 800 facilities in the world.
The Impulse Guide, an annual publication, surveys thousands of moderators and researchers to rate the quality of hundreds of facilities. In every category, from recruiting and personnel to facility and value, Peters received high marks.
What might be equally rewarding--and a testament to the strength of our rankings--is the fact that Peters was reviewed by close to 80 moderators and researchers. The St. Louis area facility with the next highest number of reviewers had 40.
To everyone who took the time to rate Peters for the 2014 edition of the Impulse Guide, we'd like to pass along our thanks. And a promise: As proud as we are of our high marks this past year, we're committed to an even more remarkable future.
And our 21st "Top-Rated" designation in next year's Guide.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
At Peters Marketing Research (PMR), we didn't coin the phrase...but we sure do believe it!
Many of our online studies include pictures. In a climate where short attention spans are the norm, research shows that questionnaires containing visual messages get the best response.
Pictures and videos make all the difference when respondents evaluate the following:
- products
- logos
- activities
- charts and graphs
- visually-oriented answer scales
- and much more!
- Performing a task
- Using a product
- Doing whatever a project requires
FYI...Peters Marketing Research is a proud Silver Sponsor of the Qualitative Research Consultants Association's (QRCA) annual conference, (October 16 - 18 in San Diego), as well as the Marketing Research Association's (MRA) Corporate Researchers' conference (October 16 - 18 in Dallas.) Two PMR team members, Katie and Tracey, look forward to meeting with you at the QRCA conference. Who else will be in San Diego? We would love to connect with you!

Technology has to be invented or adopted.
- Jared Diamond, scientist and author
More than 20 years ago, Peters Marketing Research (PMR) made a revolutionary commitment to invest in technology that would make far-reaching research opportunities possible. Since the necessary software was not available at that time, we developed it ourselves. And that was just the beginning.
Our proprietary software gave us an edge over our competition...and it still holds true today. We remain an industry leader when it comes to development and research capabilities. Our IT team has doubled since PMR's inception due to our dedication and desire to be the best in the business.
Today we can reach thousands of potential respondents in just a day, ensure implementation uniformity at all of our CLT partner locations...and guarantee precision recruiting without bias. Our newest sought-after service: national medical professional's recruitment that involves highly refined screening software to ensure precise screening of this very important group.

It has been a busy summer at our St. Louis focus group facility! We've screened and hosted many interviews and focus groups, recruited for offsite testing, in-home ethnographies and in-store shop-a-longs and given many facility tours. We even hosted a QRCA meeting. Fortunately, given the heat this summer, we were able to conduct all of this work from the comfort of our nicely cooled offices!
In the midst of our hard work, we decided to redecorate a bit. We've added new and oh-so-comfortable moderator and client viewing room chairs along with beautiful fresh artwork. Take a look around the website for new photos.
Katie Peters Miller, VP of Qualitative Research, gave birth to her second son, Wyatt, in May. She is happy to be back at the facility and ready to work with you on your next qualitative project!

You can be both a dog and cat lover…especially at Peters Marketing Research (PMR). This past year we sponsored two wonderful fundraisers for local animal welfare groups:
• The first annual “Hissin’ Hustle 5K Walk/Run” – all proceeds benefitted the Tenth Life Cat Rescue of St. Louis
• The first annual “Kilometers for Canines in Crisis” – money was raised to support Canines in Crisis of Desoto, Mo.
In addition to helping the area’s animals, PMR also gave a generous donation to The United Way for “The 100 Neediest Cases” in St. Louis. We selected this fundraiser to honor our clients during the 2011 holiday season because every single dollar raised goes to help needy St. Louisans.
