Using The Opinion Exchange and Market Research Online Communities has enormous advantages over traditional market research. Together with social media tracking these tools become a huge resource of customer insight.
Real people Communities serve as virtual "listening posts" where you can listen and learn from real people in their own environment. | Deeper insight You can explore each topic in-depth, getting more information, deeper understanding and better insight to support your decisons. | Save time Community members are accessible at any time. It's super convenient and you can use the resource at a moment's notice. | ||||||||
Explore anything There is no limit to what you explore - text copy, concept boards, sketches, diagrams, photos, video or sound files. | Instant answers Ask a question and get answers in a few minutes (rather than weeks or months) and thus ahead of your competitors. | Rich ideas Ask members to help you create, develop, extend and evaluate new products, services and communication messages. | ||||||||
Avoid disasters Reduce risk by consulting members about your planned activities. Learn how to reduce the impact of unpopular decisons. | Cost effective Communites are highly cost-effective because recruitment eliminates high sample costs associated with ad-hoc research. | Continuous feedback Understand how your customers and prospects change over time - their attitudes, views, behaviours, satisfaction & loyalty. | ||||||||
