Online Market Research: Tailor-Made, Effective and Efficient
12 July 2016
In recent years, online market research has become an essential part of the market research industry. Digitalization makes it possible to obtain data from various online channels, and to create a relevant dataset in a relatively short time. Because of this, online research is becoming increasingly popular. Motivaction conducts both qualitative and quantitative research online.
Why online market research?
Both qualitative and quantitative online research make it possible to observe the consumer’s behaviour in their own environment. The benefit of online versus offline research is that the respondents will not feel hindered, or affected, by the presence of a researcher.
How does online market research work?
- Online qualitative research: under the supervision of a moderator a group of respondents is brought together in a closed, online environment. Here they will brainstorm, test products or engage in discussions. By studying individuals for a longer period of time (from one week to one year) you get direct insights into what and why they think and do.
- Online quantitative research: our in-house StemPunt-panel was founded in 2002 and consists of more than 65.000 panel members. The panel is used for representative research in the Netherlands and can be reached via e-mail to ensure a quick start of any study. Because of the detailed information we have on our panellists, it is possible to generate extensive and quick results.
