MISSION

The PTS mission is to provide a bridge between product developers, and our world-wide Panelists who join PTS with the motivation to evaluate products and provide developers with the marketplace feedback required to expedite the concept-to-market timetable.

The PTS panel can be sub-divided into various demographic groupings, in addition to interest areas, such as level of computer savvy, Internet subject interests, pet ownership, travelers, hobbies, and more through a pre-screening process and deliver the best possible solution to every client need.

OUR GOAL

The PTS goal is to facilitate and expedite your concept-to-market process by obtaining this feedback in a professional, timely manner.

HISTORY

In 1985, a decade before the Internet really got rolling; PTS became possibly the first company in the world to develop on-line, marketplace feedback by utilizing the public-access Twin Cities Computer Network, a community-based bulletin board system in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.  Our first client was a radio station for whom we delivered almost instantaneous audience feedback via email.  This allowed the station to quickly analyze such feedback, and then alter programming to better reflect audience tastes.

Our next client was a locally-based Fortune 100 manufacturer of a variety of products including those for the burgeoning 1980s PC market.    For these product evaluations, PTS created on-line questionnaires and generated reports.    This process significantly reduced concept-to-market time, and, as importantly, offered dramatically useful customer feedback.  This success led to hundreds of additional projects with this company.

Today, PTS is primarily focused on maintaining that bridge between product developer and panelist.  We work with a variety of market research partners to provide you with the full scope of complementary professional services including questionnaire design, reports, analysis, consulting, and so on, to assure that you get the very best, professional results possible.

We are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.   Please contact us for more information.
