Atkins Strategies introduces
Online Qualitative Research Concierge Service
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended traditional qualitative research and forced focus group professionals who would prefer an in-person research setting to use digital methodologies for their research. Unfortunately, online research technology providers can be very expensive and not very personal, and often use platforms that the typical respondent may not be familiar with.
That’s why Atkins Strategies has introduced the Online Qualitative Research Concierge Service. Led by Dante Atkins, a trained moderator and qualitative research professional with decades of industry experience, the Online Research Concierge is a way of affordably ensuring the success of your online research project. The service uses Zoom Webinar technology to host online research sessions, which means that participants are usually already familiar with the technology and can connect with a mobile backup in case a laptop or tablet connection fails.
The service includes:
- Tech checks for all respondents
- Research host to present and display concepts so your moderator can focus on moderating
- A backup moderator to ensure that your project won’t fail if your moderator experiences a technical failure or internet outage
- Recordings of your research project in both original language and with an interpreted audio channel, with availability no more than a few hours after the end of each session
For a small additional fee, the following services are also available:
- Personal rescreening to validate your respondents
- Pre-programmed poll questions to quickly assess how your group feels about an issue without going around the room or raising hands
- High-quality automated time-coded transcripts so you can get to work reporting your findings right away
- Subcontract high-quality moderating and interpreting
