qualitative data collection method, while the
participants are able to interact and feedback with actionable insights on
specific topics.

TESTIMONIALS

Polyvision

Crayfish provided an excellent service in helping provide Polyvision with objective, third party data on the Chinese e-commerce sector. This has been paramount in allowing us to make sound, strategic business decisions. We would highly recommend Jane and her team and would employ their services again.

Steer

Without Crayfish.io, we wouldn’t have been able to begin our Chinese journey. We are fortunate that we got the opportunity to be commercially successful in China and we put that largely down to the guidance and advice we received from Crayfish.io.
