Do you need help with surveying or consulting on climate matters? If so, Stratford-on-Avon District Council can offer consultation/market research support.
We offer a low-cost “One-Stop Shop” service for all your market research needs.
The questionnaire stage is potentially the most important, as results will underpin the development of any project. Questionnaires provide everybody with the opportunity to have their say and carefully planned surveys give you the answers you need.
The Performance, Consultation & Insight Unit at Stratford-on-Avon District Council offers its services as a market research agency to parish and town councils, community groups and organisations. All work undertaken by the Unit is done in line with the Market Research Society’s Code of Conduct.
We have extensive experience of survey design from draft questionnaire to the final report. An advantage of using us is our independence.
What we do
- Have an initial meeting to discuss your requirements for creating the survey including the correct methodology to use;
- Collaborating with you to create a paper questionnaire or an online version.
- Print the questionnaire using SDC’s Print Unit;
- Provide a comprehensive list of all known addresses in your parish or town;
- Questionnaires are collected or posted back – you could use our postal service where we supply you with FREEPOST envelopes for return of the questionnaires directly to us at the Council offices;
- Data entry of your returned paper questionnaires – it is important that the data processing is via an unconnected and unbiased third party with anonymity assured;
- Produce headline results for each question in a summary report;
- Produce a detailed report which includes full analysis of each question, illustrated with graphs and tables, and the typing of all literal results.
You do not have to undertake every element with us, as we offer a “Pick and Mix” approach on all the above. Our service is flexible, we give you as much help as you need either for the whole process or just a part.
