Objective, Affordable, Innovative Research – All FMR projects are custom-designed to fit specific research objectives, conducted on a confidential basis from goal definition to final report presentation. Our methodologies include:

Perceptual Research Services – FMR’s perceptual research services are designed and implemented by our professional research staff, through rigorously-tested surveys, with telephone interviews supervised and validated by a Predictive Dialing System. Online respondents are randomly recruited through a national panel provider. Panel members are required to pass a screener, and security procedures incorporated as part of the questionnaire design to ensure quality control.

FMR’s projects are used to assess media usage patterns, preferences, awareness and/or imaging – with tracking studies to measure over time. All FMR reports include an analysis of key demographic and “behavographic” variables. Types of perceptual studies include:

Perceptual/Tracking Studies
Vulnerability Analysis^®
Format Opportunity Analysis^TM
Local Radio Analysis (LRA)
Advertiser Perception Studies

Music Library Testing is used to evaluate song “hooks,” along with some perceptual questions, with a station’s target audience members. Responses are achieved through either online surveys with randomly-recruited target-audience respondents. Online respondents are randomly recruited through a national panel company using a customized screener, with security features employed to make sure that participants are continually engaged in the test. Song hooks are digitally produced in-house to ensure proper sound quality.

MusicTrac Call-Out Research – FMR’s comprehensive call-out program measures the appeal, familiarity and burn-out of specific music “hooks” with target audience listeners to determine songs for “hot rotation” on a radio station’s playlist. Each song is evaluated with two questions: Familiarity/Appeal and Burn-Out of the song on the radio. Programs are custom-designed to fit station budgets and needs.
