What clients are saying about CMOR...
 
   "I have had a very positive experience with CMOR and its principals Michelle Henry and Amanda Barna.  They have consistently delivered a high quality research product that has consistently satisfied my organization's expectations.  CMOR has recently helped us measure customer
satisfaction, public perception, employee attitudes and various customer segments' knowledge of services. I would have to say that their succinct, no-nonsense approach to research has allowed my organization to measure, and thereafter manage, many aspects of our  operations that
otherwise would never been quantified."
 
Kevin McGee, Senior Director of Marketing, PR and Specialty Businesses
County of Summit Board of MRDD

CMOR Service Highlight- Focus Groups 
 
GrowthFocus groups are an efficient method of data collection in order to gather insight and in-depth knowledge from a small group of people. Examples of focus group topics include acquiring ideas to improve programs, services, or products, assessing opinion as to what customers or clients think of new programs, services, or products, or obtaining information that can be used to design a telephone, mail, or web survey.  In addition, focus groups provide valuable insight into marketing and ad campaigns whether the goal is to test messages or to review public opinion of materials such as radio or TV spots and print materials and signs.

The Professional Staff of CMOR has extensive experience in recruiting and administering focus groups and analyzing the results. CMOR has experienced moderators on staff and conducts recruiting for focus group participants.
 
In addition to traditional focus groups, CMOR also offer the following services:
  • Off-site Focus Groups
