Dialogue has been using community approaches for some time, and selected Toluna’s PanelPortal Online Communities product to power its Travel Talk community of more than 5,000 members. PanelPortal Online Communities provide an engaging environment for respondents, allowing them to chat with one and other, post to their own member profiles, and blog.  Rebecca Brooks of Dialogue says “PanelPortal Online Communities provide a suite of features to help us more effectively engage with our panelists, and encourage their long-term participation.  We’re able to mine on-site feedback to provide our clients with unparalleled insight and rich narratives about travel enthusiasts.

It was clear from our first conversation that Toluna’s Panel Portal platform provided Dialogue and its client with a ‘win-win-win’ solution.  The active 5,000 panelists, can more easily and more directly share opinions and insights much faster than before – and that has sped up decision-making for everyone.  By focusing on the panelist experience, Dialogue is creating more engaging activities and faster results.”
