• 97% scanned barcodes

• 99% uploaded pictures

• 82% uploaded audio

• 80% of those with pets uploaded videos

• Open Ended data with detailed responses

Holistic Insights How does a digital newspaper use passive data capture to gain deeper reader insights?

A digital newspaper that caters to tablet users through a newspaper app uses Research Now Mobile+ to send targeted surveys and overlays the survey data with behavioural data for deeper insights.

CASE STUDY

• Behavioural data including app downloads, music played, etc. are passively captured.

• Survey data is collected periodically by pushing surveys.

• Data from repeat surveys and passive data capture are tied together for deeper insights.

Retail Survey

How does a major FMCG company get shopper feedback on their in-store displays?

Research Now Mobile created a mobile survey for shoppers, whose locations were validated by GPS data, to complete while inside targeted supermarkets.

CASE STUDY

• Respondents uploaded photos of in-store displays and scanned UPC barcodes of products

• Geo-fencing ensured the survey was available only when respondents were in the store, ensuring strong validation and data quality

• Rich In-The-Moment data and insights

Retail Survey 2

Understand why customers don’t make purchases when visiting retail stores. Use this insight to devise strategies to increase conversion rate.

Utilise Interviewer Mode of the platform to conduct Exit Interviews by intercepting consumers who were non-purchaser.

CASE STUDY

• Responses were captured and uploaded in real time making raw data instantly available to the client

• Over 450 exit interviews conducted in record time of 7 days: faster than traditional methods

Best Practices for Mobile Research

• Sample selection/recruitment

• Use both online and mobile to insure broader representation

• Target your respondents … natural response rates will skew younger with higher income

• Survey Length

• 10 minutes [or less] sees higher response rates

• Shorter questionnaires are not a ‘rule of thumb’

• Questionnaire Design

• Consider diaries for longer surveys (multiple surveys fused together in one set of results – in-home, store visits etc)

• Allow respondents to complete in smaller segments.

Page 21: 10 Ways to Effectively Use Mobile Research

21

Best Practices for Mobile Research

• Use of Rich Media

• Keep use of audio, photo or video capture to <5 requests per survey

• Enhance open ends….consider audio instead of text responses

• Geo locations are great, but plan wisely • Do not plan quick ‘drive bys’ without larger over-samples

• Geo invites … do you have physical lat/long or street address?

• Avoid Studies that requite real-time ‘pings’ with other servers • Adaptive conjoint, max diff, etc.

Page 22: 10 Ways to Effectively Use Mobile Research

Best Practices for Mobile Research

• Be prepared to deal with media and passive data • Showing rich media or capturing rich media…

• …Rich media generates a lot of data

• …Be prepared to code, tabulate and analyse audio, video and photos

• Diverse platforms mean you may never achieve 100% coverage • Consider the trade off of richness of survey data vs. device

coverage

• Native app is best confined to high share devices like iOS or Android devices

• Cover Android and iOS; monitor Windows and Blackberry

• If device coverage is essential: Use ‘Least Common Denominator” complexity: confine it to single choice and multi- choice if you want all devices – keep your design simplistic
