Background Scientific Telephone Samples (STS) is one of the largest and most respected sampling suppliers in the United States. The company was founded in 1988, and currently serves as a supplier of random digit (RDD) samples, listed samples, and business samples to over 600 major marketing research firms, client companies and university-affiliated survey research centers. We use the highest quality, state-of-the-art procedures to construct random digit and listed samples. Clients can rest assured our added dimension of broad-based research knowledge will help guarantee every sample developed by STS will be the finest available anywhere. STS is proud to have been a driving force for many of the changes in the fundamental structure of the sampling business during the past several years. We were the first to offer same-day service, a standard 24-hour turnaround, a "security blanket" of 10% extra numbers free, free record coding, the choice of multiple call record sheets, the use of ACORN geo-demographic segmentation data for targeted RDD samples, the marking of households from the National Telephone Preference List of people objecting to unsolicited telephone calls, and a host of other innovations. Importantly, STS was the first company to adopt an aggressive value-oriented pricing philosophy and continues to be the market leader with regard to cost efficiency. Our standard price for RDD samples ranges from 2¢ to 5¢ per number, depending on yearly volume, size of order, or contractual agreement. Overall, STS is a prime example of the ability to use state-of-the-art computer technology and database integration techniques as a means of achieving significant innovation and cost reduction. STS operates in a network environment using the most advanced computer technology. The daily output of this system is virtually unlimited. STS is located about 30 miles south of Los Angeles, in Orange County, CA.
