Traditional telephonic researchers target random and un-categorized respondents that may or may not present privacy issues. Having an online panel makes it easier to research the world. The panel members are already set and ready to go. It saves the companies from the hassles of starting from scratch as the panel information is readily available online. In addition to the high cost of such processes, there is no guarantee that the person coming on the phone will respond to questions. Even if he\/she agrees to answer the survey questions, it may be unclear whether the respondent will pass the screener questions to qualify for the survey. This way, it\u2019s a waste of both time and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>LEARN ABOUT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/panel-survey\/\">What Is A Panel Survey?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Top five benefits of a quality online panel for market research<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The size of the audience for a study differs quite often, but that does not necessarily affect the credibility of the research results, provided you have recruited the right audience for your panel research. You are likely to get responses that will lead you onwards. Additionally, if you&#8217;re able to convince them to partake multiple times, you will also obtain a dedicated group of people to compare and adjust their responses over time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Saves time:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;Research panels provide easy access to willing research participants. By nature, research panels build<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/convenience-sampling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;convenience samples<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. A research project using audience samples takes much less time to complete than using alternative sample recruitment methods. For example, a company may believe in posting an online survey on social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. It may generate a ton of survey completes, but there is no guarantee that these individuals want to participate. By building a panel, researchers can ensure individuals\u2019 participation.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Saves costs:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;Researchers can save costs and time by using online panels. It is as simple as that! Approaching quality panelists can get responses from consumers faster and less expensively.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Research panels can mimic specific demographics:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;Businesses can gain consumer feedback comparable to the national population. Researchers use panels in market research to target a particular group of&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/audience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">audience<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

Consumer panels can report on more sensitive matters, including X-rated products, alcohol, cigarettes and, drug usage, to name but a few. These members are more open to responding to personal questions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>LEARN ABOUT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/top-10-reasons-to-use-panel-respondents-for-your-survey\/\">Panel Respondents<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why are online panels for market research important?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Building a quality market research panel is essential as your data depends on it. With a research panel, you can create rich profiles of your members, which will guarantee quality responses. For example, if you are looking to launch a new motorbike, you would want to target panelists interested in motorcycles and automotive technology to yield more informed responses. Additionally, a well-managed audience allows for a faster response rate, as the participants have shown interest in participating in surveys by joining the panel.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Online panels are also useful when you need to collect quick and inexpensive insights. For example, third-party online groups are helpful if you face a low incidence rate in your survey. Typically, adopting an online panel for marketing research guarantees a quick and budget-friendly fieldwork data collection activity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">LEARN ABOUT:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/online-survey-panels\/\">Online Survey Panels<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best practices for online market research panel recruitment<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here are a few steps that you need to follow for market research panel recruitment carefully:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Establish a goal:&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A survey or a panel for market research must have an objective. For example, a survey may be sent to the customer audience to assess happiness or disappointment with their purchase. Researchers also use surveys to determine interest in a new product or service the company is thinking of launching. Be clear who you want to recruit to your panel.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Establish your recruitment channel(s):<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;There are many methods to recruit respondent panels for market research. You may not have an existing list of contacts to call on, so reaching out to your customers via social media channels and POS communication could be more powerful. Determine which methods are best for your organization.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep it short and straightforward:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;Once the contacts commit to joining your panel, you\u2019ll also need to collect some essential information. Create a short survey to receive the first name, last name, and email address of each respondent. If you initially ask too many questions during the recruitment phase, your panel members may more likely leave the survey midway or, worse, opt-out of your panel.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Send a profile survey after members join the panel:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;This profile survey collects more information about the panel member to target and sample your audience for better research.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Send a welcome email:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;After respondents have joined your market research panel, and taken the profiling survey, make sure to send a welcome email. This email must remind the audience of the reason they joined the panel. Also, inform them about incentives or rewards policies, if any.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Overcoming the challenges of online market research panels<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Online research may pose some challenges, but you can mitigate or overcome the problems with these tips:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Create a FAQ page for your panelists. Answer queries promptly and honestly.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Have members refer new people to join the panel. Don\u2019t let it stagnate.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Communicate through postings, emails, and tweets &#8211; Let them know you\u2019re alive.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Be honest about payment, current projects, or how often they can expect you to contact them.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take off email addresses that consistently fail to deliver. Ensure to maintain a clean audience list.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Continuously monitor panels for undesirable behavior such as speeding, survey gaming, data falsification, and straight-lining.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Panels must be revived and enhanced over time as natural attrition takes place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Without natural processes to address issues, the custom panel audience will never reach its full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"square-cta secondary-lined-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/a\/showEntry.do?mode=audience&amp;sourceRef=blog-audience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Select your respondents<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Online market research panels with QuestionPro Audience:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/audience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QuestionPro Audience<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;is the most versatile, trustworthy online research panel with over 22 million panelists, across 32 countries and 300+ profile data points.
