We have a history of handling data collection for many mainland market research firms whose clients do business in Hawaii. As a result, Ward Research has developed expertise in facilitating research for firms that have not had the opportunity to work in this multi-ethnic, multi-cultural environment, which differs from all other U.S. markets.

What we do for out-of-state firms:

• We review questionnaires for Hawaii appropriateness.
  

• We suggest ways to improve response rates in Hawaii and the Pacific.
  

• We employ interviewers who are comfortable with distinctive local slang (Pidgin).
  

• We provide quality control to ensure that samples are representative of Hawaii's population — i.e., appropriately attentive to demographic quotas.
