Individual market research projects/telemarketing & research projects

tmf GmbH has carried out a great number of individual research projects in more than 10 European and overseas outbound MICE markets. In each case, tmf GmbH was in charge of the strategic planning and the full implementation of the research, including key assets such as the selection of suitable sample and use of our data banks, design of the questionnaires and statistical evaluation, reporting and presentation of the results, and in some cases the discussion of selected results with panels of MICE experts.
