A Taverner poll published in the Sun Herald on the weekend reveals slipping support for Labor overall, with both sides now running neck and neck on a two-party-preferred basis. The poll follows a disastrous couple of weeks for Mr Rudd...Sun Herald / Taverner Poll

Some years ago I was closely involved in managing the annual Australia SCAN survey and before that the Australian Social Monitor. These both paid close attention to the differences in values, attitudes, and behaviour between the cohorts of mature Australians, Baby Boomers and various post-boomer segments. I was also involved in the less frequent Youth Monitor and Youth Scan surveys. One result

It may seem tempting in these cost conscious times to bring projects back in house, to preserve cash flow as much as possible. On the face of it, it’s appealing. Market research is sometimes included in the list of projects that can be in-sourced. Precious marketing dollars can be allocated elsewhere, used to keep staff, or simply not spent. After all, how hard can it be? Most marketers probably

All marketers need to know how their offers are appealing to customers, and many use customer satisfaction surveys to get their answers. But the uncomfortable truth is that these surveys often fail to provide actionable data, don’t change much even when market share is dropping and customer defections are rife, and can easily hide rather than reveal the problems that need swift corrective action

An unpopular electricity privatization policy has caused problems for the government on top of the Iguana Joe’s affair, rising petrol prices and transport problems. However the next election is a long way away, and as the February and June 2008 Taverner Polls show, public opinion is fairly easily influenced by bad news and media reports. Iemma must be hoping that in the next three years, the

Industry lobbying has been effective in restoring Sunday calling for legitimate market and social researchers. The telecommunications regulator ACMA had earlier sought to force researchers to adopt Telemarketing Standards that would have banned research calls on Sundays. From 31 May, research calls will be permitted between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Saturdays and Sundays, and from 9:00 am to 8:30 pm

On Tuesday 10th April the Sydney Morning Herald published an article titled 'Pollsters may still be able to ring on Sunday, like it or not.' While Taverner Research has no objection to the general content, and praises the SMH for making the clear distinction between 'market research' and 'telemarketing', Taverner is concerned that the related 'Reader Poll' leads-in with the question 'Is

Toward the end of last year Taverner carried out a survey of customers from the preceding 12 months. The purpose was to seek feedback on what we do well and to identify opportunities for continual improvement.The survey findings gave us valuable feedback on how well we work with our clients and how we compare to the industry. We were delighted with the response and we thank all those who took

Kuala Lumpur is a hectic city - a diverse mix of fast friendly people and a melting pot of cultures. The ESOMAR conference itself looks to be no different – a hectic schedule of speakers, forums and non-stop networking amongst a diverse range of market research related professionals from across Asia and the Pacific region.After the first 10 minutes at the welcome drinks I had exhausted my supply

We are two months into the planning process for the AMSRS conference and it promises to the most successful AMSRS conference yet…By analysing the theme ‘The Changing Face of Research” as an industry we hope to be able to look into how the past can impact the future, and to take advantage of the myriad of opportunities to make research-derived information more relevant to government and the

Taverner’s finding in our mid-February poll with the Sun Herald, that the ALP is well ahead of the coalition in voting preference for the NSW state election on 24 March, has been further validated in recent new polls.There is still very little chance that this imminent election will be a tight-run affair, though neither of the contenders has produced policies that resonate at all with the voters.
