Web-based
Research
Horizon Research International is a pioneer in the field of web-enabled research. The
cost, speed, and convenience advantages of Internet-based data collection are clear. This
is precisely the reason we have developed a suite of research tools designed for web based
data collection and on-line reporting of results that harness the speed, convenience, and
value of internet-based research.
HTML Surveys
This is an interactive survey methodology that is quickly becoming as robust and
sophisticated as telephone and mail surveys. It allows data piping, attribute
randomization, and rotation similar to telephone (CATI) interviewing. Question formats can
use radio buttons, direct entry boxes, or drop down boxes. E-mail invitations are
typically sent to respondents along with a URL and password, that directs them to our web
site to complete the assigned survey. The data collected from the research process is
stored in a secure server environment and is backed up regularly. Reminder emails are sent
to non-responders to increase response rates.
The r-E-spondent Panel
Horizon Research International maintains a growing base of e-respondents. This regularly
updated panel of on-line users has thousands of respondents that fit many consumer target
segments. By randomly selecting respondents from this panel, Horizon Research
International can save its clients thousands of dollars in research costs and at the same
time maintain the randomness and integrity of the research process.
Our R-E-spondent research panel continues to grow through our efforts to pinpoint and
recruit respondents using traditional and web-based advertising. Horizon Research
International even offers its clients the ability to conduct research in a specific zip
code area in the United States through the use of this research panel.
On-line Focus Groups
Qualitative marketing research has also seen the benefits from the Internet boom. Horizon
Research International offers the ability to conduct focus groups on-line. Unlike most
chat rooms, the on-line focus group room is hosted in a secure server environment where
only our clients and invited respondents have access into the room through the use of a
date specific password.
On-line focus groups can save travel costs and allow for an interaction among
geographically diverse respondents. Transcripts of the groups can be provided to our clients.
