Testimonials
As a “newbie” to research, it was refreshing to be taught by Lauren on our organizational brand project.  We received the utmost attention from Lauren; she answered our many questions, and wrote a terrific report easily understood by the Board, staff, and members. Lauren attended our annual meeting at no cost to learn more about the profession and our organization. Should we ever do another study, I will call Lauren first!   Jane Adams, Executive Director, California Parks & recreation Society



It was vital that the Oceanside California Welcome Center could show a proven return on investment to its funding sources. We hired Lauren Schlau to conduct an economic impact study that included an inquiry conversion to demonstrate how much we influenced visitors to actually come and stay overnight through our outreach marketing and our visitor center.  Lauren was great to work with and provided us the tools we needed for strategic planning as well as proving ROI.   Leslee Gaul, Executive Director, Oceanside Tourism Board and California Welcome Center



When LA Inc., The Convention and Visitors Bureau, needs outside research support and an objective third party perspective, we have repeatedly turned to Lauren Schlau Consulting. From project management resulting in defensible economic impact analyses to program assessments and marketing strategies, Lauren and her staff always hit the target. To the Bureau, LSC is not just a vendor, but also a partnership that has lasted over ten years.

Dave Sheatsley, former Vice President Research and Business Development, LA Inc., The Convention and Visitors Bureau



LSC does outstanding work. What sets them apart from the usual research and analysis company is that LSC can take reams of data and put it in a form that is useful, relevant and easily comprehensible by the layperson. Anyone in this field can produce lengthy “dust-collecting” reports. LSC gives you information in a format that you can distribute with confidence, knowing that it will be understood and used.

We selected Lauren Schlau Consulting through a comprehensive state-wide RFP process when the Santa Cruz County Conference and Visitors Council needed to conduct a tourism conversion study for the Santa Cruz community,. The firm’s experience, reputation and a strong connection with the tourism industry, made LSC the obvious choice. The firm was professional, responsive and adhered to a rigorous schedule to produce a comprehensive study. Ms. Schlau eloquently articulated the relevance of the study results in two large community presentations and to our City Council. LSC is a pleasure to work with due to their expertise, client dedication and obvious affection for the hospitality and tourism industry.
