    I am afraid that when it comes to metrics, there are no established routes.

    Each situation is different - which is why marketers in this area charge so much.

    What channels do you have already? Because these will be the most effective and the fastest. Setting up something new takes time.

    You need to start by clearly articulating the objective of the research and the expected use of results. If the client just wants to get a sense of the differences between reactions in the three groups, the methodology will be different than if he/she is considering a major expansion of the project to other locations.

    So what's the objective? How will results be used?
