SESSIONM AND PHOENIX MARKETING INTERNATIONAL REVOLUTIONIZE MARKET RESEARCH BY CONNECTING CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES WITH REAL-TIME CONSUMER EXPERIENCE FEEDBACK
Partnership Enables Real-time Feedback Using a Rewards-based Mobile Platform With Access to More Than 12 Million Consumers
SessionM, the market leader in mobile data management and engagement tools, and Phoenix Marketing International (PMI), a top 20 market research company known for its excellence in product innovation, customer experience, communications and brand insights, today announced an exclusive partnership that will redefine how traditional market research is gathered, delivered and executed via a breakthrough mobile-first approach.
Recruiting a panel, fielding a study and synthesizing market research can take up to eight weeks and is a costly and arduous process. SessionM provides brands with access to qualified subsets of 12 million+ registered consumers. If customers have access to their phones, brands have access to their customers giving them the ability to take a market research survey, anytime, anywhere. This mobile-first approach garners more than 275,000 responses each day, giving brands quick, actionable feedback and the ability to retarget respondents for additional insights or to share relevant messaging.
The SessionM and PMI partnership will yield product offerings that reduce market research costs while increasing the scale, scope and quality of data. The traditional panel generally has thousands of panelists – which pales in comparison to 12 million+ consumers who have registered and share their opinions through the persistent, first-party relationship with SessionM – a veritable gold mine for marketers who need fast, reliable insights from relevant consumers.
“The SessionM registered consumer base means real-time access to consumers at their point and time of experience and also allows clients to direct marketing programs to the segment of one,” commented Al DeCotiis, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Marketing International. “Our commitment has and always will be to our clients. This mobile approach to research is a powerful solution that will add tremendous value to our syndicated products and allow our clients to stay at the forefront of their industry.”
“By harnessing SessionM and the company’s technology for market research, we’re able to make the process more personal and enjoyable for the consumer, which leads to more thoughtful responses in relevant environments and gives brands more authentic feedback,” said Scott Spry, Chief Operating Officer of Phoenix Marketing International. “We’re also offering brands new and more palatable ways to reconnect with relevant consumers that offer a true value exchange, rather than a one-way dialogue that may only occur one time. It’s truly a win-win.”
“Today, marketers need customer data as soon as possible across multiple touch points or they risk losing market share to a more nimble competitor. Our mobile-first approach will change the traditional consumer market research process – forever,” said Paul Krasinski, Senior Vice President and Business Development, SessionM. “We have the world’s largest mobile engagement network and a unique understanding of how to best engage with busy, on-the-go consumers. PMI offers best-in-class market research methodologies, vertical industry expertise and advanced analytics. When combined, we can help marketers garner actionable insights from consumers, giving them immediate answers to business critical questions quickly.”
