Custom Market Research Company - About Beresford Research

About Beresford Research

We are a nimble custom market research firm with almost 30 years of marketing and strategic consulting experience (and that’s not adding our years together!). The Beresford Research Executive Team has been together for more than two decades providing quantitative and qualitative research with cleverly designed methodologies geared for high ROI. We really enjoy what we do, and we’re good at it.

Working with us is like working with talented friends who “get” what you need. You’ll celebrate our small size. With it comes an agility and accountability that differs from big research firms. We answer our phones ourselves, and you can reach us before and after hours. As the decision-makers, we all respond quickly. Our clients and prospects (yes, prospects; our relationships start early) talk about how easy it is to collaborate with us. The fact that our clients keep coming back to work with us is testimony to that.

Count on us to be able to access the right information from the right people by asking the right questions. We work closely with our clients and partners to ensure high quality, tightly-focused methodologies that yield impressive, actionable data. Are you beginning to see why we love what we do?

Take a moment to read what our clients have to say about us. Check out our clients, at least the ones who allow us to list them. If you want to know more, call us. We’ll be delighted to talk.

“
What I enjoy most is learning and understanding the challenges our clients face and then developing the methodology that will deliver the marketing research solutions. Our clients value our strategic marketing approach to projects, our obsessive focus on quality, and the thought-provoking deliverables we provide. They consistently tell us they love our big-picture thinking and clear-sighted recommendations and our personal service. My terrific team and I look forward to the possibility of learning about your business challenges.
