It depends on requirements of questionnaire and the specification of the commissioning client, we need specific target group for each survey. Example a survey on cars would only make sense for car owners, a survey on cigarette flavours for smokers, and a survey on pet grooming for dog or cat owners. So the more details we have about your demographic profile, the more relevant survey you will be invited for.
We invite panellists based on the requirements of each survey, which are often very detailed and particular -- so it helps to know enough about each panellist to decide if they fit into that group (e.g. female 30-39, smoker, car owner). To make sure that you are invited to a survey where your opinions would be relevant, please make sure your profile is up to date and you have taken the basic profile survey.
• You filled out the questionnaire too quickly, without reading the questions precisely
• Your answers were inconsistent
• You did not fit to the survey’s target group
• Someone from the same IP address has already taken part in this survey
• Your target group quota is already full.
Often it is a special request from our clients that only one person from the same IP address may participate in some of our surveys. This means you might on occasion be kicked out from a survey because:
• People who live in the same household or work in the same company, share the same IP
• Internet/mobile providers change user IPs frequently and someone from the same IP has already participated in the survey
• You are registered in another panel and have already participated in the survey (the system remembers your IP and prevents you from participating again)
We regret the inconvenience, but unfortunately this is a technical issue and there is not much we can do.
It’s generally recommended for you to take part in surveys as soon as possible when you receive the invitation e-mail for the survey – so that you will be able to take part before the survey ends. Sometimes we need your participation rather quickly but we will give you always an estimated time until when they survey is open. If it doesn’t work, please contact us including the specific link you received, so we can trace the issue quickly.
Usually the points are added to your account shortly after you finish the survey. However, in the case of surveys from a partner panel, this could take a bit longer, sometimes up to 24 hours.
You get points for the following actions:
• Registering and confirming your account (20 points)
• Completing profile surveys that give us a first idea of your lifestyle and preferences (points depending on survey duration)
• Completing surveys you are invited to (points depending on survey duration)
