Snapshots Research Techniques

Mintel acquired the Snapshots catalogue of reports in April 2008 as a valuable addition to our product portfolio. We have now made available all Snapshots reports, dating back to January 2006, for Snapshots subscribers via the Mintel Oxygen platform.

We are currently reviewing the methodology and research techniques used in the Snapshots reports to ensure future publications are aligned with our Mintel processes. Most notably for existing reports Snapshots sometimes employ different sources of information from Mintel or make different assumptions concerning market sizes. Moving forwards we aim to produce a consistent market size across both products.

Meanwhile please don't hesitate to contact your account manager to discuss further.
