Home Innovation to Provide Exclusive On-Site Focus Group Access to 2014 IBS Attendees

Home Innovation Research Labs is pleased to announce its role as the exclusive on-site provider of market research for NAHB’s 2014 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Las Vegas next February. For building product manufacturers looking for rich information on customers’ product needs and wants, IBS is the place to be. This is especially true this year as it's the first time the show will be co-located with the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) -- it's like having the value of two shows in one!

Home Innovation will have two full-service focus group suites operating throughout the IBS/KBIS shows, and can also accommodate on-site intercept interviews of show attendees if that type of research is preferred. Exhibiting at IBS or KBIS is not required to take advantage of these services during the show. However, for those who are exhibiting, focus groups and/or interviews provide added "bang for your buck" and depth of information to enhance marketing strategies.

Below are the time slots available in Home Innovation's focus group suites. Availability is fixed and some days and time slots are already fully booked -- do not hesitate to book your groups before the options become more limited.
