Focus groups enable participants to combine their experiences and viewpoints to explore ideas in depth. Commonly used in creative and concept development, they help you understand your customers’ needs, perceptions and beliefs.
In-depth interviews (IDIs), in which a moderator interviews a single respondent, can be essential for exploring sensitive topics or accessing hard-to-reach demographic data, whether face-to-face, online or by telephone.
Ethnographic research is a qualitative research method in which researchers observe participants using a product or service in their own environment, usually at work or at home.
An online bulletin board (OBB or OLBB) is an online forum to which participants can log in to complete research tasks or respond to moderated questions at their own pace. OBBs allow respondents who are short of time to give their opinions at a time that suits them, and to attach images, videos or other files to support their ideas.
An online market research community (MROC) can be seen as a longer-term version of an online bulletin board. Whereas an online bulletin board is usually created for a specific purpose and lasts only a few days, an MROC can be created for multiple purposes, and the community can remain active for weeks, months or even years.
User experience (UX) or usability testing is a qualitative research methodology involving direct observation and questioning of a participant using a product or service. It is widely used to test applications and websites. A typical session lasts 60 to 90 minutes and can be conducted in a suitable room or via a remote online platform.
A video survey is a type of unmoderated qualitative study that takes advantage of the fact that almost everyone has a smartphone by asking participants to respond to a series of instructions or questions by making a short video for each one.
