Hi: To gather the data basic groceries, I will look at the following websites: Bankrate, Inc, Numbeo and Expartisan. Additionally, I will also try to look for "Mercer's 2012 Cost of Living Survey" which includes ranking as well as price of consumer goods in 214 cities worldwide. Moreover, I will also conduct general secondary research to supplement any missing data or add any proxy data. To research the cost of dinner out (two adults, two children – two courses each and one bottle of house white), I will look at different travel and hotel websites that publish the price of meals for two. In case, the price is not directly available, I will define a basket (assume few dishes for each course after consulting with you) for the dinner and compute an average price. During my research, I will collect the address of all websites that I might have used for taking the data. Output: I will give the output in Excel as well as PowerPoint (PPT) format. Excel will contain the prices of all items that you asked for. PPT will have a one page profile of each city and will include information on geography, local culture, places to visit, airfare from your home city and any other relevant information that might help you navigate through the cities. If you want to chart out a plan, we can connect on skype to discuss the same.

Hi I am keen to take on this project as it aligns perfectly with my area of expertise. I am a market research and consumer insights specialist, with over 9 years of work experience in both the US (co: Millward Brown, Group Director) and in India (where I currently reside). I have significant experience in data collection and compilation and I am confident that my experience will aid me in delivering what you need. I am also a keen travel enthusiast and have collected similar data, although never on such a large scale as it was meant for personal use. If awarded this project, post a thorough briefing from you in terms of your needs, I will plan to deliver an initial draft within a couple of days. This draft will include one destination with all the information required by you. Based on the feedback you provide on this first location, I will plan to continue work on the other locations and deliver within the next couple of weeks. I am confident that this approach will allow for a smooth and "no-surprises" working relationship on this project. I look forward to hearing back from you. Best, Radhika

I have the experience, skills and resources to deliver your project within 7 days. The project needs information from different sources in each market to get an real average cost. The project also needs detailed local knowledge of each destination as all necessary information may not be obtainable online or from website. I have lived in the UK (London, Birmingham and Glasgow) and USA (Houston and Atlanta) over the last 15 years so i understand these markets very well and i still have local contacts that i will use for this project. These are some consideration that are important for the project: 1) In each market, there must be data from at least 3 different source to obtain a real average information 2) There is a need to compare stores/supermarket of same caliber and quality in order to have an adequate comparative data source. My approach to this task will be as follows: 1) Determine research objectives, deliverables and timescales with you 2) Initiate research through data acquisition from primary source, online and interviews 3) Collate data and analyse data to obtain meaningful information and obtain relationships 4) Write a detailed and concise report on the research I will be glad to discuss this report further with you Thank you Steve
