Consumer Behavior & Psychographic Research

These tutorials outline how to use the market research database, Mintel. Specific topics that are addressed include how to access and refine results, how to locate market and consumer information, and how to find and manipulate data. 

This video series outlines how to use Simmons Catalyst. Specifically, these videos will explain how to 1) access Simmons Insights, build and export crosstabs, and analyze crosstabs; and 2) create quick reports.

Please note that Simmons has recently launched the "Catalyst" interface. To revert to the previous interface that the tutorials focus on, log in and look for the "Launch 1.0" button in the upper-right corner.

Please also check out the Reading Cross Tabs guide by Chad Boeninger at Ohio University.

Note: The most significant data in the results is the index data. This data tells you the product, brand, or media usage compared to the average. The base number for comparison is 100.  A number above 100 is greater than average, and below 100 is less than average. 

• < 80 less likely
• >120 more likely
