Blue Book Underway!
The 2005 Blue Book Listing and Advertising Media Kits are now
available and have been sent to all members, so watch your mail! You can also
visit The Blue Book Web Site
for information. Forms need to be returned to us no later than September
15th in order to be included, so don't miss this important opportunity
to promote your business.
The
Blue Book is a long-standing and respected directory in the Marketing Research
industry and it continues to evolve and grow along with the profession. In 2004
we increased our print circulation by 15%. Blue Book is distributed to every company
in the Honomichl Top 50 and MRA's Partnership with ARF enables us to get copies
into the hands of their members, who are key buyers of research. The improved
version of the corresponding Online Blue Book site that was launched in February
2004 has attracted thousands of visitors, most of which have specifically identified
themselves as buyers of research.
This year we have some great new options to offer and a greatly
revised questionnaire, so I encourage you to read through your media kit thoroughly,
even if you've listed before, and be sure you're making the selections that are
right for you.

Unsolicited issues fund
An emerging issue for Market Research Professionals has been
the "Do Not Call"(DNC) legislation and the possible impact it may have
on the profession. You can help MRA protect the Market Research profession from
regulations and legislation that would otherwise affect the industry.
