Get Connected
Connect with consumers, shoppers, doctors, students, lawyers… virtually anyone wherever they are and whenever they are available. Online research is used to gain more candid information from all types of customers and for all types of research challenges, and it often reveals a deeper insight than leveraging traditional research alone. It is not just for testing online and mobile products and services. You can reach a wider geographic area without extensive business travel and better access to low-incidence and hard to recruit respondents. Our online tools can be used as standalone research or integrated into traditional studies.

WebConnects™
WebConnects methodology reveals insight and attitudes that yield the richness of a traditional group with the broader reach and greater candor of the online environment. It’s observing how respondents interact with each other, without having to be together.
Clients can observe from a virtual back room and have behind-the-scenes conversations with the Insight Strategist. Methods include online texting groups and/or webcam groups that allow the client and everyone to see each other via webcam technology.
WebXChange™
Online market research communities bring people together for an extended time to focus on multiple topics or projects.

This is also a powerful tool when used as a co-creation community.
