PermissionResearch operates an Internet research panel that supports one of the nation’s leading market research companies. Our goal is to help companies understand Internet trends and patterns. Just as the television industry uses rating services to determine which are the most watched programs — and to affect the shows and commercials that air — the Internet community relies on services like PermissionResearch to understand the likes and dislikes of Internet users to make informed business decisions. Because of this reliance, PermissionResearch panelists can actually influence the information and services that are available on the Internet, and the manner in which that information and those services are presented.
