In this engagement, we drafted a questionnaire, converted it into a mobile format, and sent it out to our mobile panel of national shoppers. Each shopper was pre-screened and qualified according to the client’s requirements for age, gender, shopping habits, etc.

Qualified shoppers were asked to visit select retail stores in their individual markets and take the survey while shopping. The Incoming data was validated via geo-fencing and geo-stamping to ascertain that shoppers did in fact take the survey during shopping. The client received the data entered by shoppers in real time. 

• We completed 1,000 surveys nationwide from 10 markets. All surveys were done in real-time while shoppers were shopping and inside retail stores giving the client fresh insights on how shoppers made their purchase decisions.

• The entire data collection task was completed in just 1 week, reducing fielding time by 50%

• In our very first year with this client, we saved them over $30,000 than what they were used to paying for online surveys annually.

• Above all, the client was thrilled with our reporting which was very visual and engaging that they could disseminate to internal stakeholders quickly without having to compile, clean and analyze the data.
