Surveys
If you need to find out how your customer base feels about a specific topic with quantifiable results, surveys are the best method to achieve your goals. Surveys can have respondents choose between preferences, rate their agreement to statements, and much more.
While they are not the best tool to discover new pieces of information, you can include short open ended questions to catch anything that may need to be followed up on.

Phone Surveys
Surveying customers over the phone is a great way to get quantifiable results from a lot of respondents quickly. Our researchers are trained to get passed gatekeepers and reach the people we need to speak with. We validate every participant using a pre-defined screeners to make sure we are speaking to the right demographic.
Our researchers take a customer satisfaction oriented approach to ensure that respondents are happy to participate and feel appreciated, while avoiding confirmation bias and other errors.
We follow strict research standards when conducting over the phone surveys.
Online Surveys
While phone surveys can provide more rich responses, online surveys are able to get more responses with lower operating cost. We program our surveys to check for contradicting responses and can obfuscate the intent of the survey if needed. We pay close attention to the wording of questions, format, and order. We prevent issues with clarity and leading responses. We have a low drop out rate due to the careful attention paid to each survey during the design and provide a clear codebook that is approved in advance. Every survey is tested with both manual and automatic testing. We verify every piece of logic is programmed correctly before we go live. We can brand the survey for your customers or keep it anonymous depending on your needs. Online surveys are advertised carefully to attract the right types of respondents. We monitor responses to ensure quotas are met and adjust strategy as needed.
If you need quantifiable results and have a limited budget, online surveys may be the right solution to achieve for your informational objectives.
