Opinion Research Corporation Launches Small Business CARAVAN® Omnibus Study


New Small Business Omnibus Study Delivers Unparalleled Insight into Small Business Community

May 2, 2008; 04:25 AM

PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Opinion Research Corporation, an infoUSA company (NASDAQ: IUSA), today announced the launch of Small Business CARAVAN®, a shared cost omnibus study which effectively checks the pulse of the small business community. The study, which makes the process of getting into the minds of small business owners and managers across the U.S. easier and more cost-effective, will provide unparalleled insight into the millions of small businesses that make up half of the U.S. economy.

The small business community is a vital component of the U.S. economy and their opinions cannot and should not be overlooked, said Wayne Russum, Senior Vice President at Opinion Research Corporation U.S. This new tool will allow clients to gain valuable insight into the issues facing small businesses, as well as learn the most effective ways to communicate with and target this important audience.

Initially conducted monthly, the Small Business CARAVAN® will carry out 500 interviews per wave, targeting participants from infoUSAs Small Business database. The sample is specifically geared to small business in the financial services, professional services, manufacturing, construction, transportation, communication and wholesale/retail sectors.

The survey will help organizations better understand the views of small business owners and managers particularly in the areas of advertising awareness, brand awareness and usage, reaction to new product concepts, purchase decisions and financial product needs.

Small Business CARAVAN® continues the introduction of products and services to be launched by ORC focused on the small business market. This includes the previously announced partnership between infoUSA and Greenfield Online, Inc., to create a small business panel of North American B2B decision makers.
