The NAED PAR Survey provides the industry with critical financial benchmarks to evaluate your company’s performance in areas such as operations, sales, and expenses.

New this year is PAR+ Branch-Level Reporting. This exciting expansion of the original PAR survey is designed to benchmark operational and financial data at more granular geographic areas (where available). Participants in last year’s pilot program found the breakouts to be highly valuable as branch operations and expenses will be impacted by location, particularly over multiple states where costs and expenses can vary. While the current PAR report includes benchmarks for four U.S. regions, the PAR+ Branch-Level reporting can provide a deeper cut of operational data so your business can better evaluate performance by specific locations.

Distributors can start now! Complete the surveys at www.NAEDPARReport.com and see how your bottom line stacks up to other distributors.

Survey questions are available via the secure web portal at  www.NAEDPARReport.com. We know you're busy, so there are different ways to submit your responses:

• Online survey form via the portal

• If you’re prepared to share your financials with Industry Insights, they can also complete the survey for you through the Exclusive PAR Package.

 

Costs 
If you are a member of NAED, AD or IMARK, it is free to participate in both surveys. Survey participants will receive the comprehensive Industry Overview Reports at no cost.

Reporting bundles include a variety of options to best suit your needs as you evaluate your performance from 2022.

If you choose the Basic Bundle, you’ll receive an Individual Company Report (via the online reporting tool) for $499, or add the Executive Summary with a more personalized analysis with the Select Bundle for $699. The Premium Bundle includes these reports along with the White Glove Service for $849, while the new Exclusive PAR+ Plus is our most comprehensive offering if you choose to participate—costs start at $899 and are based on a company’s total sales volume.
