I thought it was really interesting to hear other’s opinions and thoughts on the topic. It made me see it in different ways other then how I saw it to begin with. I thought this was really fun!
Renee from Washington
I just wanted to share with y’all that this was my first research project of this nature ever. I enjoyed my participation so much in this panel research that I just wanted to let Strategic Research know. This was very interesting and I also learned a lot personally.
Bobbie from Colorado
I enjoyed the opportunity to be part of this experience. I would definitely volunteer again.
Wendy from Idaho
I loved participating. Was so thought provoking. Great questions, a great group that offered “food for thought.” Really was an educational exercise and inspired me to do so much research before the election.

Welcome to Market Research

Choosing to participate in market research gives you the chance to share your feedback on new products, services, ideas, commercials, and much much more! We mostly work within the consumer sector supporting major brands in their consumer research efforts.

We conduct research for companies like your local YMCAs, local utilities and local government, and major brands like Disney, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Thank you for choosing to join our research panel; we hope to include you in a study soon so you can have the chance to directly affect future products and services available to you and your community!

Who is Strategic Research Associates?

Strategic Research Associates is a Northwest-based market research company who has been providing custom market research for our clients since 1996.

Through surveys, focus groups, and other methods of primary research we gather insights from consumers about their perceptions of our clients' products, services, company, brand, and more.

Many studies are held at our own focus group facilities in Spokane and Federal Way, WA as well as other partner locations throughout the US. We also work directly with the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg to when doing projects in the Tampa area.

Focus Groups

People love participating in focus groups! Focus groups usually consist of 8-12 people who are guided through a group discussion by a research moderator to discuss a variety of issues. Everyone who participates is specifically invited to based on their background and opinions to ensure a diverse group dynamic.

Most discussions last around two hours, though mock trials and legal focus groups are often all-day activities. Snacks and refreshments are provided with every study group, as well as a cash honorarium. 

The more we know about you the better, as we do our best to invite people to the groups the qualify for. Incrementally we may reach out to you to update your profile with more specifics so we can be sure we are only inviting you to the research studies you may qualify for!

Surveys

Often our clients wish to gather opinions from a large group of people within a certain region, and in those instances, surveys are the best approach! Typically for a survey to be accurate we will gather responses from hundreds of individuals in an area, young and old, all controlled by quotas so we are targeting the same number of responses per segment of the population.

We strive to keep our surveys at less than 10 minutes in length, and many are available by phone and online to make it easy for you to join and provide feedback.

We also operate Immersive Camp which is a nationwide research panel focused just on online surveys. Each survey completed here can earn you e-gift card credits towards Amazon, PayPal, and more!

Why are you calling me?

We hand dial RDD landline and cell phone numbers within the regions we are targeting throughout the United States to gather opinions on various topics for our focus group and survey projects. We are selling nothing, and the purpose of our calls is to only collect your opinions.

Regardless, we respect your time and are always happy to remove your number from our call lists permanently.
