QualVu Launches VuPoint™ Enabling Businesses to Turn
User-Generated Online Video into Market Intelligence
Web-based application collects video generated by QualVu’s Video Survey™ and Video Diary™,
Allows business researchers to harness web-based user video for market research
DENVER – April 1st, 2008 – QualVu today announced the release of VuPoint™, an online application designed for businesses and their researchers, providing a full-featured means to turn user-generated video into a “highlight reel” of relevant and insightful consumer feedback. Businesses can then quickly utilize video responses to make effective business decisions.
VuPoint™ is integrated with Video Survey™ and Video Diary™, QualVu’s online suite of video collection applications.
“We are really excited about VuPoint™, and believe it is key to QualVu’s leadership in delivering web-based video platforms designed for market research,” said John Williamson, CEO of QualVu. “The design of VuPoint™ illustrates our vision to bring the scale and cost efficiencies of Internet video to the qualitative and quantitative research processes, and helps businesses connect with consumers online in visually rich and insightful ways.”
VuPoint™ is designed so that the workflow in creating video reports is an intuitive process. Researchers review each self-recorded consumer video in response to research questions, then with mouse-clicks can edit, sort, organize, rate, and download clips. VuPoint™ also includes an online reporting feature where researchers can insert topline findings and display representative user responses.
“Our customers have told us a crucial need is to create video clips of key consumer insights generated by Video Survey™ and Video Diary™, then download clips they can share internally and integrate into PowerPoint reports,” said Rodney Holm, CTO of QualVu. “We’ve enabled these features and more, and VuPoint™ allows our customers to download clips in multiple formats including Windows Media, QuickTime, and AVI.”
VuPoint™ also supports video submitted via mobile phones, enabling “mystery shopper” research projects in which anonymous consumers visit retail and other service locations, and share video recorded on their mobile phone with researchers.
“VuPoint™ helps businesses realize the value of consumer-generated video content that is engaging and relevant,” added Williamson. “User-generated video is giving consumers a more powerful voice in the research process, and VuPoint™ gives businesses an equally powerful tool to turn that video into market intelligence.”
