Research

From service satisfaction levels, brand perception studies and employee surveys, to communication channels that your clients favour, we help you clarify what people think of your business, how they want you to communicate with them and stay in touch.

We can quickly research a large number of qualitative and quantitative responses from both internal and external audiences using e-mail surveys. For smaller numbers we also use telephone interviews, focus groups and workshops.

Customer analytics

Building a detailed customer segmentation model can focus messaging on relevant customers and reduce costs by minimising communications wastage.

Our approach to analysing customers helps develop campaign objectives, clarifying needs and comparing the responsiveness of customer segments across the business.

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg - social media is about having conversations with your customers. Done properly it can build loyalty, help with new business and provide great PR opportunities. Done poorly it can damage your brand. At VGroup we have the skills and the knowledge to make social media work for you.

Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR presents great publicity opportunities. It would be fair to say that there is some cynicism surrounding the term CSR, by those who perhaps see it as just a PR stunt or 'jumping on the bandwagon'. Yet, if you read about or talk to companies who are active in the field of CSR, they paint a very different picture.

One of our clients has an extensive CSR scheme supporting local organisations with various community and environmental initiatives. It's a worthwhile and effective programme which gives great benefits and joy to all those involved.
