Scarborough Research is expanding its Mid-Tier Local Market Service to include 17 additional markets.

“The brand name ‘Scarborough’ is synonymous with ‘local market consumer research.’ We are expanding our Mid-Tier Studies because our clients have requested a Scarborough branded service for these additional geographic localities,” commented Steve Seraita, executive vice president of sales for Scarborough Research. “On a continuing basis, we evaluate the opportunity to introduce Scarborough into new markets with the goal of providing a research and sales tool that is appropriately calibrated with marketplace demand. “
“In a down economy, local market research becomes even more critical. It can help marketers and media professionals fine-tune their strategies and better focus efforts in order to realize greater efficiencies for their marketing and advertising programs,” commented, Kim Main, senior director of custom research for Scarborough.
