Editor's Notes
Shopping Understand when and where people buy. A Major Packaged Goods company wanted to understand the snack cracker category better to know how to market a new flavour, so they created an exercise to have people document every time they purchased a snack. People documented the category of snack, why and where they bought it, and when they ate it. Ad/Media“Realize that yourmedia mix will be one of the single biggest determinants of success in the new era”. From Premium Beverages (Diageo – Tanqueray, Captain Morgan , etc.) to Wireless Carriers, companies need to know how to best spend their advertising dollars, so the people are reminded ever 30 minutes to take a survey and record all ads they’ve seen, and how it made them feel (mood)PackagingOne of the World’s largest packaged goods companies provides people with laundry soap and a PDA. They track how much soap is used on every wash and the settings and results of the wash. They translate the data into better packaging to help consumers understand how to get better use out of the product, and therefore encourage repeat purchaseConsumer ProductsOne of the World’s largest packaged goods companies provides people with the latest razor blade and collects data on the results of their shave (closeness, razor burn, feeling, etc.) to determine if the new design is truly more effective, and how to market it.how to get better use out of the product, and therefore encourage repeat purchaseHealth care & clinical trialsOne of the World’s largest packaged goods companies collects data for clinical trials on their latest over-the-counter cough syrup so that they can accurately claim that the new formula suppresses your cough for 12 hours.Ideation and Opportunity IdentificationOne of the World’s largest packaged goods companies provides pda’s to new parents in China to understand infant sleeping and eating patterns. The project is mostly exploratory to help understand a foreign market and spur product innovation from the results.Social & PoliticalSchroeder Institute – study 400-500 smoking quitters over 2 years to understand the motivating factors. 1-4 psedu randomized surveys per day. Users can view their own charts to see what their triggers are. The research helps them through their process, not just help FUTURE quitters through policy and new insight.Technology & DigitalWhat apps are people using? Track technology exposure everywhere it happensSatisfaction – post purchase followup , mobile corporate teams , corporate conferencesLoyalty Use a mobile app to track ALL purchases and motivation, not just the ones that come through YOUR loyalty cardFinanceTrack financial interactions - every one – online banking, ABM’s, debit cards, gift cards, - and track trade-offsLottery – Little research has been done in gaming that is “in the moment”. Be there when someone plays their hand or scratches their ticket to learn the true motivations and feelings.AutomotiveCar clinics – apps can handle sophisticated 1-4 hour surveys
The first question is “Do you actually need ‘in the moment’ data?”Mobile research is best suited to capturing insights at the moment of impact because you don’t want for the memory to set in. It also works when you need validated info Here are the types of feedback you get from 3 different research methods.Keep that in mind when you see how IPSOS is using mobile in market research.

Mobile impacts field work as well.The question you should ask yourself is ‘ will someone’s interpretation of what’s actually happening be enough?’Or do you want validated information including photographs and GPS coordinates in real time? In addition to their thoughts and feelings?It has certainly helped in situations where paper has resulted in fraudulent answers, takes a long time and is expensive to transport, digitize and collate.
