  Why eFocusgroups?

 

 

eFocusgroups let your customers contribute their views at a time that suits them. This is a huge difference from traditional focus groups where people must attend at a fixed time and place.

Normally a focus group needs a skilled facilitator - an experienced consultant, a smart venue, and audio and video taping facilities. Then that consultant has to transcribe the tapes and arrive at some qualitative conclusions. This can be very expensive. And worse than that your customers need to give up their valuable time to attend. This is perhaps not so important in consumer research, but where you need to gather senior people together from a B2B marketplace, it can prove extremely difficult.

eFocusgroups remove many of those issues. The customer can remain at work and can contribute at various free moments during the day. The venue is a virtual venue, and many of the processes are semi-automated.

  What's the difference between an eFocusgroup and other on-line research? eFocusgroups are 'inbox-driven'.  The importance of this cannot be over-emphasised.  Anyone who has tried to run web-based discussions will know to their cost that after some initial enthusiasm, people do NOT revisit the discussion board.  eFocusgroups gets over this problem by driving the discussion into people's inboxes ..... and since it's only for a week, participants are prepared to tolerate the extra email.  And eFocusgroups mirrors in many ways the good aspects of a physical focusgroup.  These are great for generating qualitative data where ideas and opinions bounce around amongst different participants.  Most on-line research currently being used relies on one-to-one email communications between interviewer and interviewee.  eFocusgroups uses a many-to-many methodology.

 Marketing research without the pain

If you are considering running a focus group or doing some focus group marketing then why not consider instead the latest on-line version - eFocusgroups.  Focus group research and focus group planning still by and large uses last century techniques.  Focus group market research via eFocusgroups is taking over from on line research and online marketing research because results have not been as good as people hoped.  Online market research and internet online research suffer from bias - participants have to be skilled web users. Qualitative research has tried the online survey and found it deficient in some respects.  If you need a market research company in particular a market research company uk - based, then take a look at these pages.  We are a marketing research company with a tool that specialises in business to business market research and general business market research.
