In providing added value to our services offered to you, we have put up back issues of our monthly Newsletter, Asia Express, on our website.

Asia Express is AIP's monthly newsletter showcasing articles related to AIP's presence in the Asian Market Research Industry. It is also here that we publish results of the market index studies that we conduct in our panels in Asia, where we track respondents' opinions about the economic situation in their countries. Lastly, it is here that we provide results of surveys about other changing topics of interest.

We hope that you will find it an interesting and useful read.

Hello Asia Express Fans! How is your summer and summer vacation plans coming along? Good to be seeing you again aboard the Asia Express.

We marked this year's summer with the attention-catching FIFA World Cup event. Before it commenced, AIP shared results of its brand awareness study on brand exposure to the World Cup.

In answer to marketers shared interests on the efficacy of the World Cup as a media for brand exposure, we are sharing through Asia Express the results of our post-World Cup brand awareness survey.

We are throwing in as an extra the results of our quarterly Market Index study. We hope you will find this a useful and interesting read.

July, the month of summer vacations and trips to the beach. Don't forget to bring your sunscreen.
Speaking of sunscreen, for July, we are sharing with you our recent study on cosmetics in Asia, as well as introducing the newest member of the AIP Online Survey family, AOS Philippines.

I hope you will find these articles good and useful reads, and I look forward to partnering with you on your surveys in the Philippines.

Hello again dear clients. It is heartwarming to see you again coming back to take a ride with us in Asia Express. For this month, our destination is AIP's latest survey on beverages, particularly green tea, followed by a trip through our newest Panel, AIP Online Surveys Vietnam. We hope you'll find the "ride" as enjoyable as it is informative.

We hope you'll find it an informative and pleasurable read!

In continuing our efforts to become your one and only one-stop partner for your research needs in Asia and beyond, we are proud to announce the release of our India panel. In this issue of Asia Express, we show you how we developed an India panel that represents diverse demographics, including 22 official languages and multiple religions and cultures.
We also summarized for you our Market Index survey of 8 Asian markets for the last three quarters. We hope you'll find it a good and useful read.

Doing business with AIP guarantees our commitment to take care of your research in Asia, see it through successfully, and involve you actively with its successful completion. One important factor that lends credence and helps realize this commitment is the support and expertise of AIP's local staff. Yet another important factor that helps realize this commitment is our management. However, while clients are able to “meet” AIP's local staff on a daily basis, there is less opportunity for our clients to “meet” AIP management. In this month's Asia Express, we would like to facilitate such an opportunity.
I had the chance to sit down with AIP's Executive Vice President, Roy Kimura, one of AIP's earth shakers, to get him to share with us his thoughts on the online Market Research Industry in Asia.

The People's Republic of China may not be participating in this year's World Cup, but an overwhelming 89% of Chinese who joined our latest newsletter survey are planning to watch the event. What's more, 31% of Chinese surveyed said they are planning to buy a new TV to prepare for it. In South Korea, where excitement has built up over North Korea's surprising qualification, 95% of respondents' - almost everyone surveyed - said they will watch. Indeed, respondents' across all Asian markets are planning to tune in to the event, and many of those say they will purchase a new TV to prepare for it.
So what brands of TV are on World Cup fans' minds? We asked respondents' to tell us the electronics brand name that first comes to mind when they think about the World Cup.
