How to Leverage Mobile Research to Make Recommendations Based on the Facts

 

Understanding use cases, benefits, and limitations of mobile research

 

 

The greater our ability to follow the natural inclinations and habits of the consumer, the better insights we gather. Innovative qualitative research trends and technology deliver better value only if they allow you to truly get into consumers’ lives and get to know them in their element. In this session, we will discuss how you can leverage mobile video to witness every consumer “moment of truth” – when and where they are interacting with products, services, and reacting to messaging – so that you can make accurate recommendations based on the facts.  Additionally, we will discuss current incidence, how to collect mobile video insights in developing economies, and smartphone adoption projections, as well as best practices in capturing mobile activities, including ideal duration of a mobile study and number of assignments.

Research is an Art! The only kind of art created with an objective in mind

 

How to design a digital qualitative research project that gets you closer to the truth

 

 

The design of a qualitative research study that caters to business research objectives determines the accuracy of the value delivered. This is true for traditional and digital research methods alike. However, the execution of a study – collection and data mining in particular – in the digital world presents some factors that have to be kept in mind when designing a research study – from ethnographies to behavioral and immersion observations. In this session, you will learn the factors that go into the design of a digital qualitative research project, from designing a discussion guide to doing without recall techniques!

Holiday Break!

 

Collecting Data is the Easy Part, Choosing a Digital Collection Tool Takes Skill

 

How to choose a data collection technology and set up an online video research project

 

 

Part of designing a next generation qualitative research project involves selecting the right technology that you will use to collect feedback, organize data, share findings with stakeholders – and all of those choices should be made based on your and your stakeholders’ objectives. This session will focus on the factors that can help you shape those decisions, think about the possibilities for sharing stimuli with participants, understand the uses and benefits of screen tracking capabilities, and decide which data collection device (webcams, pocket cams, smartphones, tablets, iTouch, pencams, headcams) will deliver the insights desired.

What Would You Do Without the Right Participants?

 

All you need to know about participant engagement and incentives

 

 

Good news: Engaging consumers in a digital market research project is easier than you think when you follow best practices! Consumers in every culture will be surprisingly forthcoming when given the right tools and incentives. In this session, we will discuss how to engage computer or technology illiterate individuals, ideal sample size, and participant technology and Internet access requirements.

Poke Them for More!

 

The secrets of moderating and probing asynchronously

 

 

When you reach consumers in their natural element, everything that surrounds them turns into stimuli, and the reactions you observe aren’t responses to hypothetical questions, but rather to real life events. Mobile technologies allow you to virtually follow respondents along every step and moment in their lives. You may be wondering how you can possibly gain focused data when you aren’t right there, sitting next to the participant asking the “whys.” The key is in how you design your projects. This session will show you how to moderate and probe asynchronously without creating a self-fulfilling prophecy and, more importantly, how to design a discussion guide that gives you just the focused data you need without probing or distracting participants from their natural way of doing things.

Turn Rich, Digital Data into Business Decisions

 

How to analyze, make sense of, and organize mounts of digital data into a report that delivers valuable business recommendations

 

 

Digital video research has proven to deliver new levels of insight into consumers’ lives and attitudes. But when you give participants free rein, they will share indefinitely, and with that benefit comes challenges: How do you organize and mine that much information? In this session, we will show you how to mine text and video data, organize hours of video, and generate engaging and accurate reports infused with video highlights. We will also teach you techniques and methods to analyze non-verbal behavior, identify consumers’ behavior and attitudes while in their natural element, and find out what consumers are not telling you but are doing on camera, so that you can discover hidden or sensitive thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors that drive decision making. Finally, we will show you how digital tools can help you digitize and store focus group video data so that you can create your own library of truth.

Recreating the Backroom Experience in the Digital World

 

How to create the backroom experience and encourage collaboration in a digital environment

 

 

The qualitative research process isn’t just a linear process but a looped one. Insights drive new questions, and new questions drive new opportunities. Empowering stakeholders to share and create conversations around newly discovered insights helps inspire business decisions as well as new areas of exploration. This session will show you how you can use digital tools to create a virtual backroom in which you can share and discuss video responses in real time, and how to encourage stakeholder collaboration that propels businesses forward. Additionally, we will show you how digital tools enable you and your stakeholders to create and mine your “library of truth” and find new insights in old data.
