WATI

Web-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (WATI) combines the power of online surveys with the personal touch of telephone interviews. Our WATI service streamlines data collection by allowing respondents to complete part of the survey online while an interviewer guides them through more complex sections over the phone.

Our trained interviewers conduct interviews at high-traffic locations or designated facilities based on your research needs.

For project-specific research, clients provide us with contact lists from their own databases. We maintain the highest standards of privacy to ensure all personal information is stored separately and removed from our systems once the project has been completed to the client's satisfaction. Our role is to utilise the client's list for the designated research project while upholding strict data handling protocols.

For focus groups and market research discussions, you have the option to attend in person at a designated location or participate remotely via video conferencing platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. These interactive sessions provide an opportunity for you to share your insights and engage in thoughtful discussions.

Alternatively, online surveys offer a convenient way to contribute your perspectives.

Regardless of the format, your valuable input plays a crucial role in shaping our understanding of consumer preferences and market trends.

No prior knowledge is required! The essence of market research lies in gathering candid and authentic feedback from diverse perspectives. Businesses value the genuine opinions of individuals who experience their products or services for the first time during the research process. Your fresh perspectives and unbiased reactions are invaluable in shaping their understanding of consumer perceptions and preferences.

Our goal is to create an environment where you can engage with the product or service naturally, without any preconceived notions or expectations. Your honest impressions, thoughts, and suggestions, untainted by prior exposure, are precisely what companies seek. Rest assured, your lack of familiarity is not a disadvantage; rather, it is an opportunity to provide the raw, unfiltered insights that drive innovation and improvement.

The duration of paid market research opportunities can vary, but most engagements range from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Standard questionnaire surveys are generally designed to be completed within 5 to 20 minutes, offering a convenient and flexible option. For more in-depth insights, focus groups may extend to an hour or longer, allowing for comprehensive discussions and valuable feedback. Regardless of the format, we strive to ensure that the time commitment is clearly communicated upfront, enabling you to make informed decisions and effectively manage your schedule.

Your primary responsibility is to arrive at the designated location well-prepared to actively engage in the discussion. We kindly request that you plan to be present at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. This will ensure a prompt and organised commencement of the session. Please note that due to the nature of focus groups, late arrivals may unfortunately not be admitted, resulting in the forfeiture of the participation incentive. By being punctual, you contribute to a smooth and productive experience for all participants.

We strive to accommodate a wide range of schedules and preferences to ensure maximum convenience for our valued participants. Market research activities can be scheduled during daytime hours, evenings, or weekends, depending on the specific requirements of each project.

You can engage in our activities with complete confidence, knowing that your involvement will be duly recognised and rewarded, without any hidden costs or financial commitments.

This will help ensure that your profile accurately reflects your characteristics and preferences, enabling us to match you with suitable opportunities.
