Using Toluna’s PanelPortal™, Insights West can empower you to make wiser decisions, faster than you thought possible, while building a richer understanding of your customers and their relationship with your brand. Here’s how:

Cost Effectiveness

  • Make research dollars go further
  • Drastically cheaper than ad hoc studies
  • Fixed startup costs, open-ended usability
  • Low-incidence targets offer even more savings

Technical Agility

  • Super-quick turnaround times: 24 to 48 hours
  • Real-time results reporting
  • Individual log-ins for all your team members
  • Round-the-clock access to data
  • Swift response to emergency issues

Engagement

  • Two-way communication with customers and prospects
  • Panellists feel they are being consulted, not surveyed
  • Response rates are higher, findings on a given issue are more reliable
  • Invite your panel community to your corporate Facebook and twitter pages
  • Relevance of your brand builds with every interaction

Powerful Research Tool

  • Rich profiling data, expensive to capture, is reused every time you survey
  • Zero in on one segment, or survey them all
  • Combine quantitative and qualitative methodologies in a single platform
  • Longitudinal studies allow you to build on learning over time; revisit issues; conduct before/after surveys; explore evolving attitudes directly; and more;                                            all much more easily than via ad hoc studies
