Marketing Research Associations

Keeping up with the Marketing Research industry has long been a top priority at Polaris. Whether individuals use this knowledge to plan a new marketing research program or simply for networking, there are many marketing research associations that can be essential tools in a marketer�s toolkit. Polaris Marketing Research is connected with the following associations and we hope these can help you in your research endeavors as well.
