go global with your online qualitative market research
TRANSCRIPT
• “As soon as possible” does not have universal meaning
• Respondents show up on time in some countries, but not in others
• Good local moderators and interpreters are hard to come by -when you find one stick with them
• Never underestimate the value of a quality research partner
• Working with the same moderators and interpreters increases your researchers and, many times, your clients comfort level and decreases their stress level
• Brand names frequently vary by country – If working with Pharmaceuticals generic names are often the safest way to refer to a drug
• You should expect your partners desk researchers to do this for all countries being fielded
• Client teams get larger with the addition of local affiliates
• Different research priorities by country can sidetrack the research
• Having a single line of communication with the local moderator and translator is critical
• Partners will alert you to holidays in various countries that you never knew existed
• When using trusted local partners you know that your research will not be scheduled at a time when there is a local holiday even if that is when the client wants it to be!
• Centralization is most efficient
• Single point of contact for translations, recruiting, moderating, deliverables, etc.
• All Partners and their teams must have documented experience in the market you are researching
• All partners must be responsive to email within reasonable US hours
