Market research often lurks behind the scenes, yet its impact on businesses and communities is profound. To unravel the mysteries of this vital field, Cindy Clarke from PAC-B TV paid a visit to our corporate office and conducted a video interview with our own Sandy Baker, Vice President of Corporate Development. Below, is a summary of the talking points; the 24-minute video can be viewed here in its entirety.
As Sandy explains, RMS is nestled in the heart of the bustling village of Baldwinsville, NY. Most B’ville residents are aware of RMS and its involvement within the local community, however, some may not be aware of what we do. In this video, Sandy explains RMS’s 22-year journey, describing its evolution into a respected market research powerhouse with local and national clientele.
At RMS, our focus lies in four key areas:
The healthcare division conducts patient satisfaction surveys, offering valuable insights into hospitals and healthcare facilities. RMS is one of a select number of approved vendors to conduct patient satisfaction surveys by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). If you get a survey about your recent doctor or hospital visit, it could be from RMS.
The key areas of our corporate work involve collaborating with all kinds and sizes of organizations ranging from financial and education institutions, not-for-profits, and retail to Fortune 500 companies.
The education sector, as you would expect, supports institutions like local school districts, including the Baldwinsville and Fayetteville-Manlius School Districts, as well as higher education institutions like Syracuse University and Onondaga Community College to name just a few local connections.
The RMS manufacturing arm assists companies that are interested in gaining feedback on new products, assessing user experiences and testing the strength of their brands.

As the interview continues, it’s our premier facility, “QualiSight”, that steals the show! With a state-of-the-art focus group facility, RMS recruits people for discussions on topics ranging from finance to Sesame Street. In the video, Sandy explains the intricacies of recruiting for focus groups and the meticulous process of data analysis.
Sandy conveys RMS’s role in economic forecasting, highlighting Central New York’s significance as a top test market in the US. From baby carrots to bourbon, she touches on memorable projects and the invaluable feedback received from local participants.
As the interview winds down, Sandy Baker paints a vivid picture of RMS’s role as both a local business and a national player in the dynamic world of market research.
