One thing mobile has taught us beyond a doubt: consumers are in control. Think of one person you know that does not have a smartphone. Coming up short? This is precisely the reason we need to 'Go Mobile' now.

20. The Philosophy of Good Survey Design
Recognize it is a consumer experience
Encourage respondents to think
Think mobile first when designing surveys
Keep survey length under 15 minutes
Limit number of open ended questions
Use short, concise question text
Avoid grids and scrolling
Simplify: break questions into component parts
Exploit icons and visuals
Test all your surveys
Hi, my name is David Shanker and I am responsible for Lightspeed and I am here today to talk to you about why it is important to go mobile NOW for any and all of the survey work you do with Consumers. I hope to convince you that it is important to start thinking about shorter surveys that are mobile enabled and device agnostic. And when my 10 minutes are up, you will know the 3 most important things to consider when thinking about all your future surveys
NEW SLIDE HERE WITH MAP OF WORLD
By way of background, Lightspeed is the company within Kantar that builds and manages global panels. In round numbers, we have almost 5M consumers in 40 countries who have joined Lightspeed to take online surveys. They do so because they want to provide input to all of your brands and issues and they also like the incentives they receive when providing their feedback. Last year, Lightspeed completed over 30 million online interviews
And its not only consumers who we can speak to online – we have Physician Panels, Patient Panels, B2B panels and Specialty Panels. And we are also known for building bespoke panels for clietns with specific business needs.
According to data released on November 1 by StatCounter, Mobile Browsing Surpassed Desktop Globally For 1st Time in October 2016
Here I am going to explain why we both love and hate our phones and I will tell a story about how much we
Use it in our personals lives (and rely on it) – but why in our MR professional life the phone has been a bust – and
Tie this back to surveys
So, Why mobile for your surveys?
Research today requires meeting consumers on their devices.
We want them to be able to respond to surveys when they way, how they want and on the device that they wany
We need to think mobile and consumer, first.
In North American, next year 2/3 of the population will own a smartphone
And globally, there are approx 2.5B smartphone users
Every day, consumers are working digitally – they are spending more and more time connected to their devices. This is where they live and this is where they work
As consumers increasingly work digitally with numerous connected devices, marketers have the opportunity to harness behavioural information in real time utilising passive measurements.
And crazy as it seems, for those under the age of 34 – 87% of them are NEVER without their smartphones
And we all know that the richness of data and insights can be enriched with digital data like pictrues and photos.
Well, every day, more than 44% of consumers use their camera to a photo or a video
Did you know that on Sanpchat – there are 8B mobile videos viewed per day?
And we are all pretty obsessive about our phones – the avg adult will check their phone 30 times a day and if you are a millennial, you are checking your phone 150 times/day.
So, if you don’t believe me yet that surveys need to be shorter, mobile friendly and device agnostic, let me share some data specific to our Panellists
In the US, more than 50% of those that join our panels are joining on a smartphone or tablet
Yet only 1 in 5 surveys are mobile compatible.So we have a lot of consumers who join our panels on their smartphone but not nearly enough surveys for them to take on their smartphones.
So, we have a lot of demand for mobile surveys but we have low supply
And that is leading to potential data quality issues
Our surveys are…….
Less engaging surveys means…….

Leverage suit of analytical tools: to help optimize the length of your surveys
Use survey design service: to refashion your survey to work on mobile devices
Pilot: to test redesigned surveys
This industry has an abundance of training opportunities. Conferences, webinars, lectures…take advantage of by sending staff to trainings & workshops so they can learn how to make your surveys more mobile friendly
As data becomes increasingly integrated, researchers are given more opportunities to boost engagement and shorten surveys. The world of “Big Data” has granted us access to numerous data sources that can be blended with quantitative research. The result is obtaining more insights through fewer questions. This makes writing surveys for mobile users much easier because we can:
Be less redundant with our questions
Ask simpler questions
Break surveys into clear component parts
Do we have any Frank Kelly slides we can insert here on using Video Open Ends as another reason why
Market researchers should be going mobile. I would want to be able to talk about the enriched open ends
They can collect – the richness of the data - etc
Recognise that it is a consumer experience
Encourage respondents to think
Think mobile first when designing surveys
Keep survey length under 15 minutes
Limit number of open ended questions
Use short, concise question text
Avoid grids, scrolling and ensure everything is scaled to fit
Simplify: break questions into component parts / thinking chunks
Exploit icons and visuals
Test all your surveys
