𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧-𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 Marketing Week recently highlighted the enduring value of face-to-face research in a world increasingly leaning towards online methods. (Link to the article in the comments.) While online research brings undeniable convenience and reach, there’s an energy unique to in-person focus groups that’s hard to replicate on a screen. The dynamics, spontaneity, and those unforgettable ‘killer’ quotes are so often sparked by the nuances only observed in a live setting. Face-to-face conversations allow researchers to see, hear, and feel reactions in a way that brings brands and audiences closer. We proudly support this invaluable method with our business directory of 14 dedicated viewing facilities, ready to host in person conversations. From the heart of London to Manchester and beyond, these spaces foster the kind of rich, interactive insights that in-person groups can provide. Let’s keep the mirror reflective – not just digital. Explore our directory and join us in championing the power of face-to-face insights.

🥳Happy Friday All🥳 We are so proud of what we do here at Aspect, that when we receive the recognition for it, we want to shout it from the rooftops 🗣️. We know we do a fantastic job 🥰 - but it is still special to receive the confirmation from our clients. Below 👇🏽is feedback we have received this week, in relation to a six day project at our Stockport facility......    “I only have good things to say. You are so warm and caring and truly make us feel at home. You’re also very on top of things with regards to participants – you know all the who, what, where, and when’s, and make sure that things run smoothly while also making sure that the participants feel comfortable while waiting. We truly appreciate everything you do for us. Making us feel comfortable, feeding us (lots!), and jumping in whenever we’re in a pinch. When we are with you, we feel like we’re all part of the same team 😊”   Have a lovely weekend, from all of the Aspect team #feedbackfriday #feedback #marketresearch #viewing #viewingfacility #fridayshoutout #manchester #stockport

Happy Friday All, Its been a busy week at BOTH our Stockport and Central Manchester Facilities this week, with 12 studios busy over the course of the week 🙌🏽. 🌟What better way to end the week than some amazing client feedback🌟 "I’ve only got good things to say about Aspect. It’s always very reassuring to know you’ll be greeted by the warm, friendly team and be well looked after. Their experience really shines through in that they know exactly when to leave you when you need to set up some tricky stimulus material or have a last minute chat with a client or, by contrast, say hello when you’ve got time for a very welcome chat, as well as anticipating your needs when you realise you haven’t yet had your coffee in the morning or your stomach’s starting to rumble and you need some food. They also pro-actively keep you up-to-date with any changes to recruitment, ensure participants are on their way (helping them out if lost or stuck in traffic), and let you know once participants have arrived. It really is top notch!" Here at Aspect - we have to agree 😉 👍🏽Have a great weekend all👍🏽

🌟Lets talk about the Aspect Bee 🌟 Those who have visited our City Centre facility in the 💗 of Manchester, will have noticed the 'Aspect Bee' on a plinth in the entrance area. This often bring a few questions of; what? why? how? eh? ⁉️ So lets talk about it......... The 'Manchester Bee' 🐝 has been a symbol of the city for over 150 years, and has come to represent the city's history, hard work, and unity 💪🏽 The Bee was adopted as a symbol during the Industrial Revolution, when Manchester was a leader in mass production. It represents the city's hard-working citizens and the 'hive' of activity that Manchester became. The bee was officially added to the Manchester coat of arms in 1842. After the 2017 Manchester arena bombing, the bee became a symbol of unity against terrorism. It appeared on protest banners and graffiti, and people got bee tattoos to show their solidarity. Following the Manchester ❤️ One Love ❤️ movement in 2018, 'Bee in the City' took place in Manchester. This featured over 100 large bee sculptures which were displayed around Manchester's landmarks, cultural attractions, and other areas. Aspect and the wider Fuller Research Group, contributed to this with its very own bee, decorated in company colours and logos. It now sits, proudly, in the entrance of our central Manchester facility. Keep your eye out for it next time you visit 😉

Did you know that Aspect Viewing Facilities has TWO seperate venues? One in Stockport, South Manchester and one in Manchester City Centre 😃. In early 2023, we took the risk to move back into the City Centre following the difficult, post covid period, where face to face research was experiencing a very uncertain future. The huge success of the past year, at both venues, proves it was a risk worth taking! 👏🏽   At Aspect Manchester, you get the same home comforts and outstanding service you have come to expect. Being a City Centre Facility, it is also surrounded by hotels, apartments, bars and resturants and we also have The Lowry Hotel and the Quays right on our doorstep. Why not stay a while longer and experience the true culture that Manchester has to offer; be it the theatres, musuems, galleries and not forgetting the amazing music and sports scenes. 🐝

🥳Market Research Society (MRS) Oppies 2024 - Best Viewing Facility🥳 We are delighted to be, once again, a finalist in the MRS oppies, as 'Best Viewing Facility' - an award we have been lucky enough to win previously. We believe the following statement sums up our nomination: "Bucking the trend of closing facilities, Aspect re-opened in Manchester City Centre in 2023, to provide one of the only, Northern, City Centre facilities. A much needed flag in the ground as to the continuance of viewing. It is vital in a zoom world, that face to face shows its value and Aspect took a leap of faith, which has been a great success". Congratulations to everyone nominated - we looking forward to seeing you all on the 26th September. Whatever the outcome, the sucess of viewing facilities, nationally, is a testiment to their hard work, attention to detail and their drive to keep F2F viewing as the heartbeat of the industry. #oppies #mrs #marketresearch #awards #viewingfacilities #insight
