Online Focus Groups

Online focus groups offer unique advantages to the traditional in-person focus groups, and have become more popular as technology advanced and after the COVID pandemic.

Without a solid understanding of your market, you risk making decisions based on assumptions or outdated information, which can lead to misaligned branding efforts, wasted resources, and costly mistakes.

Make informed decisions that are grounded in real data.

Do your due diligence - do your research. It's worth the investment."

Benefits of Online Focus Groups Include:

Geographic Reach and Accessibility

Online focus groups allow you to gather participants from different geographic locations, providing a more diverse and representative sample compared to traditional in-person focus groups. For example, rural areas those working remotely, internationally or those that have mobility challenges.

Online Focus Groups Are Convenient and Time Efficient

No travel time means being able to slot in more. Participants can join from their own homes and during a time that is convenient to them, making recruitment a much easier task.

Cost Effectiveness

As everything is done online, there are less costs associated with travel, expense claims, venue hire and other logistical costs.

Reduced Social Desirability Bias

Online platforms can provide a degree of anonymity for participants and feel less influenced by group dynamics that can be felt in in-person focus groups.  This can encourage more honest, open responses and independent perspectives.

Technology and Flexibility

Moderators can adapt their style to suit the online format, using features like chat moderation, breakout rooms, and interactive polls to enhance participant engagement. Clients also have the benefit of being able to be included in the online focus group as observers and gauge the dynamics of the participants and their responses as they happen.
