The key objective of the research was to discover the global demand for a new product in the education sector and the structure of that market. The study also evaluated pricing propositions and recommended the pricing structure that was likely to generate greatest demand. Tonica undertook research in six main countries: UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and Germany.
“Tonica worked tirelessly, and with great attention to detail, providing us with exactly the indepth market intelligence we were looking for.”
Jacqui O’Hanlon, Director of Education, Royal Shakespeare Company
