JKS is a consumer market research company focusing
on mystery shopping, focus groups and surveys.
Our
history
Originated
in 1981 as a Dallas-based company, JK Services offered information retrieval
services to a variety of clients, many of whom were in advertising,
legal and real estate professions. In 1994, JK Services, Inc., was formed
as a Virginia corporation specializing in primary and secondary research
and database information retrieval. The company soon expanded into market
research and in 1998 changed its corporate name and logo to JKS Inc.
Today,
JKS Inc. concentrates solely on consumer market research and serves
clients throughout the United States and Canada. We partner with the
Austin Creative Group, a full-service creative team providing services
in marketing, event planning, public relations and web development.
JKS Inc.
values its role not only in the business world, but in the communities
where we do business. We are active in supporting programs for the arts
and children's health care.
