                                                                          Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

                                                                          Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
