Central location interview is a quantitative method of market research that is based on personal interview of consumers in a central location, such as the mall, department store or specially arranged spaces for these kinds of interviews. Consumers are contacted by the phone and their arrival to the closest central location is arranged beforehand. During the interview, the interviewer reads questions from the questionnaire and notes interviewee’s answers. Interviewers are experienced and trained professionals that will not influence the answers. Since the interview is done in person, the interviewer can test new products, have participants comment on marketing materials, packaging, etc
