Voice of the Customer Relationship Research Process

Voice of the Customer Relationship Research is a fundamental part of our Customer Relationship Marketing Strategy

Our Voice of the Customer Relationship Research process is a specialized CRM research methodology that helps to ensure a truly Customer-Driven implementation of the Consensual Marketing Opt-In Process and Integrated Direct Marketing.

ERDM has conducted over 85 of these specialized relationship marketing research studies for clients such as Microsoft, NBC.com, IBM, Reliant Energy, Hewlett-Packard, Applied Biosystems, Starwood Hotels and Resorts (The Luxury Collection), and AmieStreet.com. Findings from special Voice of Customer Relationship Research programs such as these have been instrumental in launching breakthrough double-digit response programs for these clients.

Our Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM) strategy research process enables you to pre-test, with great confidence, the marketplace expectations regarding relationships, offers, messaging, multichannel media mix, and media preference before spending dollars to launch your program.
