Marketing Surveys and Statistical Analysis (MSSA) was founded in 1994 by Schalk van Vuuren. Our approach is to research the role and relationships of awareness, need, perceptions about your brand or service and price sensitivity. The extent of its influence as drivers on customer behaviour, is modelled in a multivariate way, as is shown below:

Behaviour = awareness + needs+ perception + price
