Electrical Line RSS Feed Canada's Electrical Channel to Seek Contractor Input

    Electrical contractors will be contacted during the month of April by a market research company, Coherent B2B, working on behalf of Canada's electrical products industry. The purpose of this study is to help manufacturers, distributors and rep agencies better understand contractor's business pressures and needs. The aim is to improve the supply chain, products and services available to Canada's electrical contractors.

    Electrical contractors across Canada will be contacted by telephone through a member agency of the Canadian Market Research and Intelligence Association. They will be asked to participate in a phone interview that should only take about 10 minutes. All responses are completely confidential. Only aggregated statistical data and comments to open-ended questions will be included in the final report.

    This research is funded by the Supply and Distribution Council of Electro-Federation Canada, whose 150-plus member companies include the leading manufacturers and distributors of electrical products in the Canadian market. Electrical contractors participating in the survey will have the opportunity to send a message to the supply chain that will help shape strategies and marketing communications for their business partners.

    For more information, email Roger Partington at roger@coherentb2b.com.
