Quantitative research of the confectionery market in large Russian cities (consumers’ poles in 12 large Russian cities)
Methods of Research
Personal standardized interviews with confectionery consumers. The total volume of the sampling is 1400 respondents. The representation of the sampling is guaranteed due to its quoting. The quotas were established by sex, age and income level according to the socio-demographic parameters of universal set.
