PANEL PLUS

This can look like:
- Designing and structuring to align with business goals
- Creating a compelling value proposition for the members: engagement, contribution, feedback, incentives
- Creating an engaging and compelling user experience
- Monitoring the ‘health’ of your panel over time, and keeping it clean

In our mind, no two panels are alike. And we’ve seen plenty! We’ll partner with you, bringing a mixture of best-practices and years of experience, combined with keeping abreast of the latest technologies and trends, all tailored to the specific context of your panel.

Bespoke is our default. While we can package any combination of services unique to your specific needs, below is a summary of our standard approach.

Why it’s important: Making sure your member base is clean, streamlined, and strategically designed – so that it can be a powerful research tool to meet business objectives.
