Consumers on Demand

You need to know what consumers think about your newest product, concept, or service. You conduct market research so that you can confidently launch the next big success in your industry. But, the answers from the research lead to more questions… Now what?

Our Consumers on Demand® (C.O.D.) Surveys allow clients to rapidly follow up on topics of interest which arise throughout consumer insight studies. Custom C.O.D. Surveys use standardized question formats to capture valuable information from study participants to drill down further and fine tune research findings to determine:

  • Level of consumer interest and concern
  • Criticality, in consumers’ minds, of the topic at hand
  • Effect on brand loyalty

C.O.D. Surveys also cull out consumers’ ideas and suggestions. C.O.D. Survey data are collected quickly. Data

Our Consumers on Demand® (C.O.D.) Surveys allow clients to rapidly follow up on topics of interest.

are reported in a variety of formats based on our client’s needs.

Our highly experienced staff will help you design surveys that get to the heart of information that you need.


We Combine the ”Art“ and ”Science“ of Consumer Insight
for Optimal Research Outcomes

At Market Reader Pro®, we combine the ”art“ of qualitative focus groups with the ”science“ of quantitative, online surveys. Our clients benefit from this ”one-two“ approach which provides optimal research outcomes. Focus groups have been around for a long time. There are many reasons that top companies still rely on focus groups for their qualitative data.

  • Focus groups are dynamic—moderators can stay open to concepts which may not have been predicted.
  • Focus groups involve you, the client—you can give input into the research process as it is occurring.
  • The face-to-face interaction afforded by in-person focus groups has no substitute in qualitative research.

But, research generalizability is limited by the relatively small number of consumers who participate in in-person focus groups. We combine the qualitative benefits of focus groups with the quantitative benefits of online surveys to combine the best of both worlds. This results in complete, actionable consumer information while saving product development costs and maximizing your return on investment. Let us design a custom research package that meets your needs!

We combine the “art” of qualitative focus groups with the “science” of quantitative, online surveys.
  • First, we conduct a focus group to hone in on issues that consumers think are important, then,
  • We conduct a follow-up online survey to apply focus group results to a much larger and geographically diverse group of consumers, quickly
  • And, using our SIRR® System (Simple Internet Remote Reporter), we can bring you videos from consumers’ home use of your products to dig even deeper into the minds of consumers

Qualitative + Quantitative = Comprehensive

Building our online panel.

Growing Panel provides More Answers More Quickly to your Questions

At Market Reader Pro®, we are continually building our online panel so that we can provide our clients with even more consumer insight more quickly. To date, in 2008, our panelists have answered over 7 million online questions! And, so far this year, our panel has increased by 22%.

An ever-increasing and dynamic panel not only ensures more consumer insight more quickly, it is also part of our ”panel management“ process. This helps to prevent the use of ”professional survey takers“ Market Reader Pro™'s RSS Feedwho may not always thoroughly read each survey. At Market Reader Pro®, we pride ourselves not only the quantity of our panelists but also their quality.

One of our recent, ongoing improvements in panel recruitment

includes our ”New Surveys“ RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds allow users to click on an icon and subscribe to a Web feed for content updates. Through our ”New Surveys“ RSS, Market Reader Pro®’s online panelists are kept abreast of new surveys as they are launched. Once updated, panelists can easily select which surveys they are interested in participating in.

Our RSS feed for panelists results in quicker responses for our clients. For a recent home fragrance survey, we collected our client’s required responses within just 24 hours!

Join Our Panel

We have also updated our ”Join Our Panel“ Web page to make it more user friendly across the globe. Potential panelists who visit our ”Join Our Panel“ Web page are now greeted in seven languages, with eleven different countries being highlighted. At Market Reader Pro®, we know that a happy, active panel leads to the best outcomes for our clients.
