Concept testing is the process of finding out how customers feel about your product idea before you launch it.

In general, the rule of thumb has been that a survey completion time of 20 minutes is the maximum recommended, not only to elicit well thought-out and meaningful responses, but also to ensure that surveys get completed. That methodology worked well for a while, but now we’ve entered a new phase of online sampling.

Using Surveys as a Creative Way to Engage Loyalty Program Members

In recent years, low engagement has become a prevalent issue amongst loyalty programs. This is likely because consumers are spending a large portion of their time online and are heavily occupied with apps, games, and other types of media.

Online surveys have quickly become a popular solution to this challenge.

In 2021, respondents are increasingly likely to take surveys via their mobile devices. Furthermore, with new sources of sample supply becoming increasingly prevalent, these non-traditional respondents have very specific preferences around survey design, survey length and survey questions.
