Testimonials From Our Partners

Healthcare
Dr. Peltier's research acumen is very impressive and his work is of the utmost quality. Importantly, the three-year research project he supervised for us as Director of Research for Knupp & Watson had actionable recommendations and lead to impressive results.
- Dr. Anthony M. D'Alessandro, Executive Director, Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics Organ Procurement Organization

Financial Services
APR has a keen sense of what clients seek in a relationship. From the moment we started working with APR, I knew that our needs were important to them. Throughout the process that we undertook to launch a new financial service product, APR was there with us all along the way. What was especially important to us was the fact that when we needed something from APR, they returned our calls and emails almost immediately.
- Warren Peltier, President, Fiat Money Center & The Mortgage Group, LLC

Healthcare & Insurance
Dr. Peltier and APR provided PIC Wisconsin with a clear research vision in our quest to add a new financial service to our product line. From project initiation to completion, APR remained on task, was responsive to our needs, and presented results in a way that made sense. The relationship we had with APR is one that I wish all vendors would duplicate.
- David Maurer, Chief Operating Officer, PIC Wisconsin, a Pro-Assurance Co.

Retail
APR and its staff are extremely well-versed in all aspects of marketing research and strategy. From interviews, to focus groups, to taste-testing, through survey research they were able to provide what we needed and when we needed it. I am especially impressed with their responsiveness to our needs - - if we have a question they get back to us right away. Our entire management team has confidence in their results and recommendations.
- Gary Gonczy, Director of Marketing/Advertising, Kwik Trip.

Retail
Woodcraft is a multi-channel organization facing the challenge of developing strategic and tactical initiatives across our franchisee, catalog, Internet, and magazine operations. APR has been an invaluable resource in this effort. Quite frankly, their in-depth knowledge of the research process and their ability to turn results into strategic action was superior to other vendors that we approached. Equally important, APR was extremely responsive to our daily needs and at a cost that was significantly lower than its competitors.
- Jeff Forbes, President, Woodcraft

Non-Profit
Dr. Peltier and his staff at APR are extremely responsive to the needs of their clients. They have a keen sense of understanding what needs to be done and the best research process for resolving areas of concerns. I was very impressed with not only the quality of their work, and particularly with regard to how fast they would respond to any and all of our questions as the process unfolded.
- Bruce Bulger, Forum for People Performance Management and Measurement.

Manufacturing
APR proved to be a highly qualified and responsive research organization. We were interested in an independent and unbiased assessment of our customers' needs and expectations and how well we were meeting these, and then to use this information to improve customer service. APR's comprehensive approach to the research process and the many techniques they implemented for us were invaluable to our efforts. Importantly, they were not afraid to tell us where and how we needed to improve.
- Richard Greene, Executive Vice-President, Freedom Graphic Systems

Education
APR's comprehensive study helped the Sheboygan Area School District (SASD) identify the key areas which parents used to decide on a quality education. That information, which provided the focus for the District's marketing plan, was invaluable. As a result, our marketing plan has helped the SASD retain current students and also attract new students. Our partnership with APR has made it possible for the SASD to improve and grow.
- Joe Sheehan, Ph. D., Sheboygan Area School District

Knupp & Watson Inc. has worked with Dr. Peltier for over 20 years. His complete understanding of the research process and how results can be turned into actionable strategies has been a great benefit to our company and the clients who we serve. Importantly, Dr. Peltier takes the time and effort to get to know our clients, something that goes a long way for creating strong and lasting relationships.

Legal/Legislative Action
The Wisconsin Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association (WPMCA) represents over 2,000 independent petroleum marketers, convenience store owners, truck stop and travel plaza operators, automotive oil change outlets and other automotive service providers throughout Wisconsin. It is no easy task to conduct research pertinent to such a wide range of association members. Under the guidance of Dr. Peltier, APR has been an incredible research partner for us and has provided WPMCA with critical strategic and tactical support needed in a complex legislative environment.
- Robert Bartlett, President, WPMCA

Entertainment & Gaming
Dr. Schibrowsky understands the heart-beat of Las Vegas and the State of Nevada. His strategic and research experience is far-reaching, insightful, and on target. I am especially impressed with his ability to listen to what others have to say, transition this discussion into an actionable research agenda, culminating in results that dig below the surface. Importantly, Dr. Schibrowsky has the difficult to match skill of being able to explain complex research findings in words that laypeople can understand.
- Richard Wassmuth, Senior Planner, City of Las Vegas
