More About Simmons
Simmons is a multi-faceted consumer research company specializing in marketing information to clearly identify and position brands, products and media in today's competitive playing field. Our vast database contains the most detailed usage information available on over 8,000 brands, 450 product categories, all media venues and the most detailed lifestyle descriptors available.

Founded over 50 years ago by legendary market researcher Willard Simmons, we have helped bring more goods and services to market than any other research firm in North America.  Our flagship survey, the Simmons National Consumer Study (NCS), draws on interviews with over 20,000 people nationwide to unlock the secrets of marketplace behavior of American adults. Simmons also collects comprehensive information on teenagers, children and Hispanic consumers—all to aid advertisers, their agencies and the media target their products and services to these segments of the population.

Simmons today is the nation's leading authority on the behavior of the American consumer, and our research findings are regularly quoted in respected trade publications. The product usage, media usage, consumer demographic, psychographic and lifestyle profiles measured and reported by Simmons are the basic building blocks of virtually every major marketing firm and advertising agency in the U.S.  We’ve achieved that predominance because of our ability to provide clients the full range of consumer data and the software solutions to understand them, including:

  • Rich lifestyle information
  • Unascribed marketing data
  • Powerful tools for analysis
  • Global information
Simmons research covers all the markets critical to advertisers, their agencies and media alike — from Kids and Teens to Adults and specialized audiences like Hispanic Americans. With our half-century of experience, we’ve built a reputation as the leading provider of consumer behavior information in the nation. Our teams of media experts, survey professionals, modeling statisticians and research analysts develop innovative research techniques to put reliable data at your fingertips.

To conduct research for the Simmons suite of NCS products (Adults, Teens, Kids and Hispanics), we recruit the entire household for responses and input.  We mail a Household Survey Booklet covering the total household’s usage/ownership of selected products and services. But unlike other research companies, we also provide personal booklets to collect responses from each household member:  every adult over 18 years old, every teen aged 12 to 17, and every child between 6 and 11 years old.

By combining our extensive marketing and media data from the NCS with powerful analytic tools, segmentation systems and transactional data integrations, we bring your marketing information to life. With Simmons on your side, you will better understand your customers— from the products they buy and the brands they prefer, to their lifestyles, attitudes and media preferences. And you’ll make sense out of today’s complex marketplace through insights provided by American consumers. >
