This Lunch & Learn will outline the development of online research over the past 20 years, including how respondents are increasingly seen as a “commodity”. The advent of “faster and cheaper” has led to exchanges where respondents may go through numerous pre-screeners/ routers to qualify for a survey. Even if they qualify, they then get paid a minimum amount for their time in a questionnaire which still doesn’t always consider their experience. This poor respondent experience has led to inattentive answers and therefore poor-quality data.
HOWEVER, there is a chance for a micro business to “level up” with some larger agencies by highlighting the importance of data quality, even having a checklist within their proposal.
Norstat will share their checklist in this session.
