5. AT HOME
What AT HOME Looks Like
People are not brand loyal anymore.
People move on to the next big, shiny object at one mention by a
Facebook friend or a Pinterest post.
So what to do as someone who develops and markets products
and services?
Obtain direct input BEFORE going to market. Test at every
step of development. Eliminate doubt and guessing. Come
away with complete validation.
Testing in the short-term will reap countless benefits and ROI in the
long-term. You will come away with a clear and strategic plan.
Methodologies We Use:
 Online multi-day discussions and 1-1 interviews
 Online focus groups
 24hr quantitative survey

What AWAY Looks Like
Mobile research methodologies are relatively new and relatively
unknown. Which is surprising due to the fact that everyone seems
to be talking about mobile.
We’re going to be blunt here. No one has any patience for a website
or app that doesn’t work on their phone. A situation where your user
is trying to access something remotely is typically a situation with
limited time. It just has to work.
We utilize turnkey solutions for mobile research. You get
immediate feedback in the shape of heatmaps, clickstream analysis
and real-time data/reporting.
Methodologies We Use:
 Mobile usability testing
 Mobile qualitative studies
 Mobile quantitative surveys

9. Recruiting
What is the most important part of market research? Asking the right people the
right questions. We help you find these people in new, innovative and cost-
effective ways.
Our team includes people who pioneered the use of social media to find
qualified and engaging respondents. No panels. No "professional" research
participants. We recruit fresh respondents on a project basis.
Our recruiting methods have several advantages: 50% less per respondent than
traditional methods, obtain a ready-to-participate sample within 48hrs, qualified
people screened twice, use to find niche and “hard to reach” people.
