Customer Research

Testimonials
The Sticker Factory sought tenders for a new web site and back office system using Filemaker as the platform in May 2010. After due consideration the Mackman Group were chosen to design a new web site working in conjunction with Craft ICT who developed the data base.

A major strength displayed by The Mackman Group is their ability to communicate effectively at all levels. During the project The Sticker Factory proposed several changes to the original specification which were accepted after discussions and modified where necessary. All such changes were carried out professionally and with a complete understanding of the necessity for our business. Whilst the web site has been built on an industry standard platform many of the functions have had to be modified and some custom routines written to accommodate integration with Filemaker.

The Mackman Group have had to work in conjunction with Craft ICT throughout the project in order to integrate the back office system fully. Staff at Craft ICT have praised The Mackman Group highly for their professionalism, flexibility and technical understanding the problems encountered during the project.

The Sticker Factory continue to work with the Mackman Group and intend to forge a long term working relationship with them. They now have a good understanding of our business and are supporting us with ongoing web developments, providing excellent statistics to assist in analysing our business in order to help it grow and continue to give helpful advice and support with marketing ideas.

The Mackman Group delivers the highest standards of professionalism, understanding and courtesy and The Sticker Factory highly recommend them.

Why outsource customer research?

Outsourcing the task of conducting customer research to a specialist third party has numerous benefits:

1. It eliminates bias or the potential to be accused of bias

2. Response rates increase making the research more statistically sound

3. Respondents are more inclined to give frank responses
