Research Doesn’t Have to Put You in the Poorhouse

By Walter K. Lindenmann

Specialist in Public Relations Research and Measurement

You don't have to spend a fortune or go broke when designing and carrying out public relations research and measurement projects. To save money, consider piggyback studies, secondary analysis, quick-tab polls, internet surveys, or intercept interviews. Mail, fax and e-mail studies are good for some purposes. Or, do your own field research.
