HIP PRODUCTS & SERVICES

RMG's HomeTrend Influentials Panel products and services - your cost effective ticket to healthier marketing

The HomeTrend Influentials Panel (HIP) simplifies information gathering and marketplace analysis, so that you know when a trend is beginning to grow. Knowing soon enough -- finding out from the very people who make it a trend -- gives you a competitive edge in your marketing effort.

Riedel Marketing Group provides you with a way to get the information you need before the trend reaches its peak, before the trendsetters move on to the next "big thing"

Custom Questions:
Get feedback from influential trend-setting consumers by participating in HomeTrend Influentials Surveys, quarterly online bulletin board focus groups conducted among HIPsters. By finding out what HIPsters think of your new products, you will know early on whether your new products have the potential for mainstream success.
