Surveys FAQs

I tried to take a survey, but I didn't qualify. Why not?
Sometimes a survey demands respondents who meet very specific criteria. This is because our clients might require feedback from a specific age group or people who use a particular type of product. To increase your chances for qualifying for future online surveys, complete all of the member profiles.

What is the difference between member profiles and surveys?
Member Profiles (available for online panelists ONLY) tell us a little about you and allow us to target you for surveys that match your interests or experience. You can complete these at your leisure in the “My Profile” area.

Surveys are studies in which you will be asked to provide your opinions on specific products, services or advertisements. Surveys are open only for a limited time, until response quotas are met.

Occasionally, a study has very specific qualifications that only a small percentage of the population will meet, such a situation might occur when a pharmaceutical company requests feedback from sufferers of a rare disease. In cases like these, it may be necessary to query the entire panel using survey screeners in order to find the handful of panelists who meet the qualifications for a study.

What is the length of each survey?
Survey length is strictly dependent on the study but typical survey lengths ranges between 20 minutes and 40 minutes

How can I be notified of new surveys?
If you are an online panelist, we will send survey invitations to the email address provided by you.

Where will you send me the prize that I win?
Prize / Rewards will be sent only at the address that you have provided in your registration form. Do update your address record in "Account settings" as soon as you move. Also, please make sure that your address is accurate so that your vouchers / rewards can be shipped at the right address.

How do you know if my responses are accurate?
We build in checks / balances / algorithms within the survey to check the accuracy of the responses. We also look at time that it takes to fill responses in order to know whether your response is genuine or not.
