i am developing a low cost market research company which specializes in surveys and focus groups.....i have been able to license my product in under 18 months, and i attribute my success to having solid market data behind all my product claims....i started beta testing my service with about 5 inventors from other forums....i am not here to plug my service, but i wanted to hear about any experiences you have had with other marketing research companies, and the fees you had to pay (you don`t have to name names of companies) and what kind of service you received.....thanks a bunch!....eva
