Agenda

Qualitative
research
is
vital
to
filling
the
gaps
left

by
surveys
and
big
data

“Good inventors and designers deeply understand their
customer. They study and understand many anecdotes rather
than only the averages you’ll find on surveys. They live with the
design.”
Jeff Bezos

Online
qualitative
addresses
common
challenges

of
traditional
qualitative

Online
qualitative
is
best
for…
• Audiences
who
have
less
time
to
give
and
are
harder
to
schedule

• Super
quick
turnaround
projects
at
a
low
cost

• Collecting
a
larger
number
of
responses,
dispersed
across
a
wider

geography
• Having
participants
spend
more
time
with
some
media
or
content
• Exploring
broader
questions/multiple
topics

• Capturing
in-‐context
learning
across
several
days/weeks

Increasing
relevance
of
qualitative
methods
Rapid
Iteration
By
iterating
with
consumers,

you
can
shorten
development

cycles
while
increasing
the

likelihood
of
making
well-‐
informed
decisions.

Validation
As
you
build
and
optimize

ideas,
sometimes
you
don’t

have
the
time
or
budget
to

validate
the
learning
through

traditional
approaches.

Opportunity
Identification
If
existing
data
reveals
a

problem
or
opportunity
in
the

marketplace,
there
is
often
a

need
for
more
context
to

formulate
a
solution.

Decision Risk

A
variety
of
tools
are
within
reach
– the
best

approach
depends
on
your
needs
and
objectives.

Examples
Video
Interviews/

Ethnography:
Millennials
share

brand
experiences

and
talk
about
what

it
takes
for
a
brand

to
trust
them
Branded

community:
Sub-‐Zero
collects

feedback
on

products
in
field

trials
to
prepare

for
launch.

Iterative
insight
community
:
Insurance
company
gets
rapid

feedback
on
experiences,

shares
new
service
ideas
and

captures
in-‐depth
feedback

Five
key
factors
when
selecting
the
approach

that
best
fits
your
needs.
1. Sample Quality
2. Actionable Insights
3. Service Level
4. Budget
5. Speed/Agility

1.
Sample
Quality
The
foundation
of
good
qualitative
research
consists
of

qualified
and
articulate
participants.
• How
are
participants
recruited
and

verified?
• What
type
of
targeting
and
screening

are
available?

• What
level
of
participant
engagement

should
you
expect?
Example:
Ever
sit
behind
the
glass
in
a
focus
group
and
wonder
who

the
consumers
are
and
how
they
past
the
screener?

2.
Actionable
Insights
Actionable
results
often
depend
on
the
depth
of
insights
along

with
the
ability
to
adjust
and
iterate
with
consumers.
• How
many
touch-‐points
with

participants
can
you
have?
• How
much
time
will
participants

spend
during
each
interaction?
• What
tools
do
you
have
to
engage

and
learn
from
participants?
Example:
Ever
ask
an
open
ended
question
to
get
a
bunch
of
one
word

responses?

3.
Level
of
Service
The
right
provider
will
save
your
team
time
through
great
self-‐
service
features,
automation
and
expert
support
and
services.
• What
services
are
available
to

insure
I’m
successful?
• Are
activity
templates
available
to

make
design
and
setup
easier?
• What
types
of
automation
are
used

for
moderation
and
reporting?
Example:
Ever
try
a
new
tool
and
find
out
that
there
is
no
way
to
get

ahold
of
someone
for
support?

4.
Budget
Online
qualitative
can
significantly
stretch
your
research

budget,
helping
teams
make
more
informed
decisions
everyday.
• What
is
the
total
cost
per

participant?
• How
are
participants
rewarded?
• Are
there
subscriptions
available

and
what
are
the
benefits?
Example:
Your
budget
is
significantly
cut
and
you've
been
tasked

with
coming
up
with
recommendations
on
how
to
"fix
the

advertising"
by
the
end
of
the
week?

5.
Speed
&
Agility
Newer
online
approaches
can
get
you
results
fast,
along
with
the

ability
to
adjust
your
questions
and
iterate
ideas
as
you
learn.
• How
fast
can
they
launch
and

recruit
participants?
• Can
you
adjust
your
activities
as

you
learn
on-‐the-‐fly?
• What
types
of
instant
reporting
are

available?
Example:
Ever
do
research
just
to
find
out
the
results
create
more

questions
that
require
more
research?

ü They
save
time
and
money.
Teams
that
choose
agile
iterative

insight
communities
can
adjust
to
research
insights
faster,
improving

their
speed
to
market
while
avoiding
rework.
ü They
can
iterate
quickly. Instead
of
speaking
to
research

participants
once,
marketers
can
engage
in
conversations
over
days
or

weeks
enabling
teams
optimize
quickly,
bringing
better
products
to

market
faster.
ü They
make
the
right
decisions.
Online
participants
are
more

likely
to
tell
researchers
the
truth.
They
won’t
be
nervous
or
shy
giving

marketers
more
informed
learning
to
launch
successful
initiatives.

Companies
that
opt
to
leverage
online

qualitative
stand
to
benefit
tremendously.
