Researching the Market…

"Just the facts, ma’am," might have been good enough for Joe Friday. But J/D/G market research goes beyond the surface facts and gathers the observations and insights of the respondents. We learn about the why, the how, the what if. We are able to do this because of our long-term relationship with individuals in all segments of the business. This relationship is based on consistent, ongoing contact and communications at industry meetings. Day in and day out we talk to dozens of key players throughout the dairy business. We make it our business to know the movers and shakers. And those we don’t know probably still know us from our columns in trade publications and our speeches at dairy foods business seminars and conferences.

Analyzing the Marketplace…

Clients consistently tell us our research and analysis frequently make two plus two equal five or six, not just four. This ongoing contact and in-depth research gives J/D/G Consulting a head start on marketplace analysis. Everyday we read dozens of trade and business publications inside and outside of the dairy foods business to help put our primary research in the proper perspective. We then combine our 30 years of industry experience to put the new findings into actionable recommendations for our clients. This knowledge-based analysis allows us to help clients identify significant service and product profit opportunities. That’s why we are frequently referred to as "the thought leaders in the dairy foods business."
