Marketing Studies

MARKETING STUDIES

Our outputs here involved judgments as to the size, characteristics, channels of distribution, transportation considerations, prices and margins for one or more commodities. We have done market studies for all the base metals and many of the strategic and specialty metals, as well as the various energy minerals.

Typically our databases used in marketing assignments include:

	Our own files;
	Data in the public sector;
	Data from data houses or special studies from data houses;
	Interviews with knowledgeable people.

We then analyze these data and develop conclusions as to those aspects of the market investigation of most interest to our client. Flowing from our conclusions we develop, if appropriate, specific recommendations.

We review our report in draft form with our client, obtain their inputs, and then provide our final report.
