To gather in-depth insights from a community, qualitative research must be integral to longitudinal studies<\/a> and research. Brands rely on focus groups to collect deeper research insights – mostly from top promoters and customers. Conducting video discussions and online focus groups add the ability to conduct online qualitative research without constraints from external factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our existing community customers have been talking about how, even though they are on lockdown, they would like their insights collection to continue. An online community is now one of the most powerful and widely used methods of conducting research. The ability to <\/span>conduct video discussions<\/span><\/a> elevates the ability to manage online qualitative research for our customer groups<\/a> and researchers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the need to conduct video discussions in an online community?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many external factors can impact the ability to conduct offline qualitative research and offline focus groups – these range from pandemics, scheduling issues, availability of panelists, geographical diversity, costs, etc. Conducting video discussions and online focus groups<\/a> allow greater control to community managers to manage qualitative research. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands have traditionally used qualitative research as a vector to either creating or proving or disproving a research hypothesis. Not only that, but qualitative research, in conjunction with quantitative analysis<\/a>, offers researchers, brands, and other stakeholders more significant control over data and mature research insights, too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not so long ago, we marked out the <\/span>top reasons to move your offline focus groups online<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, use auto-transcription of the chat for more accessible analysis. Mark out chats to maintain a tab on what is essential. Monitor the respondent\u2019s behavior from the comfort of wherever you choose to be based. It is a game-changer and makes conducting qualitative research even smarter and efficient. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
