At SMG, we revel in the opportunity to redefine brand research and tell the whole story, reconciling what customers really think with what they really do. To create a greater understanding of behavior and loyalty, we connect the dots between marketing and operations: why did they visit (promotions, product, reputation) and how was that experience (fast, friendly, clean)? From traditional research to new technologies, we deliver behavioral data and insights you can't get anywhere else.
Customer experience management, market research, and proprietary behavioral research combine to deliver a comprehensive view of your customers from all angles. We uncover if they are at your location or visiting a competitor's brand; ask questions during or immediately after their experience through customer surveys; and deliver that data to you in an easy-to-understand dynamic market intelligence tool. All to help you shape a winning customer experience strategy.
