3. Mobile Market Research
Description
Participants download an app onto their Apple or Android phone or tablet.
This allows them to provide a snapshot of their day as they interact with a product, retail environment, or try a new technology. They can provide immediate feedback using pictures, videos, text & voice.
Benefits
Respondents provide their feedback in real- time as they shop, buy, or use the product in its natural setting.
Example
For a leading mobile phone manufacturer: Over a period of 3 days consumers used words and video, to document all the ways the used their mobile phones. This create a unique portrait of the connection between consumers and their mobile devices.

4. Online Diaries
Description
Participants log into an online platform several times each day.
The moderator interacts frequently with participants, giving them tasks, following up with probes, asking for more detail.
Example
For a major tablet manufacturer: In-home product placement of two different tablet designs. Over a three week period consumers worked and played with both tablets and sent in stories and pictures showing what they liked and disliked.
Respondents also participated in “quantitative” polls pushed out throughout the platform.

Benefits
Real-time responses, with rich and accurate detail. Can be carried out over a prolonged period of time so respondents can perform complex tasks.
5. Webcam Focus Groups and IDIs
Description
By using webcams, traditional focus groups or IDIs can be replicated online.
Clients can view remotely and text with the moderator as the groups take place.
Benefits
Ability to recruit respondents without any geographic constraints.
Respondents can view, and even mark-up presentation materials.
Example
For a global Fortune 1000 technology company: Conducted a combination of IDIs and focus groups to test ads with senior IT professionals from enterprise size organizations from across the country.
Exposed respondents to a wide range of print and broadcast concepts in a secure environment.
Viewed in real-time by client teams in US, Europe and Asia.

Bulletin Board Focus Groups (BBFG)
Description
Utilize a text based platform .
Can be time constrained (like a traditional 2 hour group) or take place over several days.
Benefits
Do not require any additional technology (e.g., webcams).
Many people are more comfortable typing than being recorded by a camera.
Easy to pull in respondents from multiple geographic areas.
Example
For a global Fortune 1000 technology company conducted a combination of IDIs and focus groups to test ads with senior IT professionals from enterprise size organizations from across the country.

Iterative BBFG
Description
Participants react to stimulus (concepts, messaging, creative executions) at their convenience during a 24-hour period.
The moderator and client-side stakeholders observe carefully and formulate ideas for refining stimulus.
A revised set of stimulus is re-tested with a fresh group of respondents, again over a 24- hour period.
Benefits
Unique opportunity to test, refine, and re-test.
Quick-turn results.
Convenient for any number of stakeholders in any location.
8. Global Telephone IDIs

While not “online”, this more traditional methodology leverages some of the benefits of online research.
Using simultaneous translators, a US moderator can conduct interviews with respondents around the world.
Benefits
Provides much more consistent research quality – with the same moderators conducting global interviews.
Fast to set-up and execute.
Example
For a global Fortune 50 company: Conducted 100 in-depth telephone interviews assessing satisfaction among major corporate customers in 10 different countries.
