Custom Research and Reporting
Our team of highly accredited research experts can customize a study designed to address your specific objectives and needs. Each project begins with a consultative intake of your goals, immersion into your target audiences and discussion of how the data will be used (and by whom). We then develop a research methodology designed to turn data into insights.
The Penton Difference
We have the ability to target your precise market and reach engaged decision makers.
Our market expertise is backed by a proprietary database of more than five million business professionals, providing access to an engaged audience willing to participate in market research studies. These professionals trust our brands. They visit our web sites, read our newsletters, attend our webinars and value the editorial authority of our magazines. Using this audience as a base – and expanding beyond that as – we can create an ideal research sample of targeted individuals based on your unique criteria.
Pulse of the Market
Our Pulse of the Market polls allow you to get quick feedback on a single question, or a series of questions presented in consecutive monthly polls. Pulse of the Market polls are ideal when you need a quick answer to a hot topic, or an initial reaction from a qualified audience. Each poll consists of a single question with up to six possible responses (no open-ended responses).
