Marketing All Product Survey
MAPS is the long-awaited single source replacement survey for AMPS and covers products and brands, intermedia comparisons and a host of consumer behaviour measures.
What is MAPS?
The Marketing All Product Survey (MAPS) is funded as a subscription model research survey which allows subscribers’ input into the scope and content of the research. Managed by the Marketing Research Foundation, a non-profit organisation for marketers and controlled by marketers, the survey is independent of any commercial interests, and is neutral, transparent and controlled by its subscribers.
Modernised
MAPS covers products and brands, intermedia comparisons and a host of consumer behaviour measures. The questionnaire has been modernised and reengineered to marketers’ current needs, making it a big step-up on AMPS. There are innovations such as the multi-platform behaviour and decision-making questions. The survey is geo-codable to enable a regional view of the data.
Why MAPS?
MAPS will enable synergy between media planning and marketing strategy within a single nationally representative survey, greatly enhancing the achievement of the most cost-effective advertising reach specific to users’ particular targets and strategic goals. There will finally once again be an industry benchmark and common data for brand planning and marketing.
