Private Research Communities/Forums
A private research community or forum is similar to a custom panel except that the group of pre-registered respondents is able to communicate with each other through discussion threads in addition to taking part in research surveys and/or customer feedback sessions.
- The benefits of a private community to your business are:
- Rapid feedback
- Greater Insight
- Integrating research within your business
- Enhance Customer Loyalty
- Integrating qualitative and qualitative feedback
- Cost Effective Research
- Engagement through interactive studies
Private communities do require careful moderation to ensure the maximum value is derived from the research. Topics may be suggested and members respond in their own time to add to the group discussion.
