Key Note vs Google Why use Key Note rather than searching the Internet? Key Note research is carried out by industry experts using only the most reliable sources. Statistics are analysed and verified to ensure complete accuracy. Our reports are all put through our unique 3-step editorial process: ART (Accurate, Relevant and Timely). We identify, verify and analyse the facts, bringing together many sources of information and Key Note expert analysis in an easy-to-use and reliable format. For all reports, Key Note undertakes various types of qualitative and quantitative research, including: ◦ original/primary research (a number of reports include exclusively commissioned consumer surveys); ◦ secondary data (providing consumer/demographic information and advertising expenditure, etc., together with data from the Office of National Statistics and other government departments); ◦ qualitative research (interviews are undertaken by Key Note either face-to-face or by telephone); ◦ Key Note estimates (derived from statistical analysis and trade research, giving a 5-year market forecast); and ◦ Trade sources (trade associations, trade journals and specific company contacts are invaluable to the research process). With Key Note, you can be confident that every statistic and finding has been fact checked at least 3 times before it is included in a Key Note report. Our stringent guidelines mean our clients can make crucial decisions based on fact, giving them the security they need in today's economic climate.
