<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nLet’s just get one thing out into the open — I am NOT a professional market researcher. I’m a marketing expert who uses market research. And that means that there is a tremendous amount I don’t know about the intricacies of research, sampling and such. So, when I run into some info that strikes me as a good idea, I make the assumption that you might be interested too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, while trolling the internet for some interesting content to share I ran into an article over at Peanut Labs about the practice of screening out participants<\/a> from surveys. They did some research on which part of the survey respondents disliked most and discovered that fully 24% HATED being screened out from a survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think I get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reluctantly, you make the decision to click and take a survey, answer a few questions, who knows, maybe invest something like five or ten minutes then get screened out. I can imagine that it leaves you feeling like you’ve wasted your time — and when you have so little of it and you’ve just invested some in a “distraction” — you might get a little testy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have this issue? Well, you might not know that you have this issue, but you can at least expect that fully more than 20% of your respondents are ticked off and may NOT take your next survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
