2. Incentivization

How are Points Awarded?

  • Points are awarded for only a complete survey and
    after we run data verification to check the quality of
    responses provided.
  • Please note that this might take time and
    sometimes we must wait until the whole survey is
    closed to facilitate this.
  • We encourage that the responses provided are
    honest and open to avoid denial of points as a
    result of bad data.
  • The amount of points awarded can vary among
    surveys. We will always tell you how much you will
    get, before you take part in the surveys.
  • Participation is always voluntary and consensual.

Points are not awarded for the below
scenarios:

  • Screen outs- Surveys have a respondent
    qualification criterion of which is normally
    determined by the first few questions you respond
    to. If you are disqualified at this stage, you will not
    be awarded. We however will try as much as
    possible to send to you surveys that we feel you
    qualify for to avoid these cases.
  • Straight lining- When your responses are
    predictable to a point that we can tell you are not
    reading the questions properly; you will not be
    awarded even if you get to the end of the survey.
    Your interview will be terminated and you will be
    informed as this undermines data quality. In the
    long run if this is repeated, you will be expelled
    from our panel for good.
  • Speeding- Points are not awarded for respondents
    who speed through a survey. We encourage you to
    take your time and read through the questions to
    get a proper understanding so as to provide the
    required responses. Like straight-lining, the
    interview is deleted even if you get to the end and
    you will receive a warning. If this persists you are
    expelled from the panel as well.
  • Double participation- You can only participate once
    in a survey, attempts to participate multiple times
    will lead to an automatic disqualification.
  • Redundant answers- Points will not be award for
    what will be considered redundant responses for
    open ended questions

    threshold and this will be sent to you in form of

    points burton to initiate the process. Enter the
    number of points you want to redeem and submit.
    We will take it from this point

    registered phone number.

Why did I not get my points, despite
completing the survey?

    points to show in your account. This is because
    points are awarded aer a study has been oicially
    closed. Please bear with us as we undergo the

How ofen will I be invited to online-surveys?

  • As mentioned earlier, we will only invite you for
    surveys you qualify for when they are available,
    therefore we cannot tell how many invitations you
    will receive.
  • The number of invitations depends greatly on the
    country that you live in – surveys are conducted
    more frequently in some countries than in others.
  • Participants are also selected randomly, or there
    may be a pre-selection depending on age, gender,
    level of education, profession, place of residence,
    etc. This depends on the target group requirements
    set by our clients.

    you can adjust your mail settings by adding our mail
    address to your address book.

What happens with my data and my
responses to the surveys I participate in?

  • The details you provided when registering and
    when updating your profile are used for the sole
    purpose of selecting participants for surveys.
  • Responses from surveys cannot be traced back to
    you as an individual. All data is pooled for analysis.

How come I am getting none or very few
invitations to surveys?

  • Surveys require specific criteria of members, over
    and above country of residence. Therefore, if you
    meet this criterion be sure we will invite you.
  • If you don’t rest assured there will be other surveys
    in the near future in which you can still participate.
  • We recommend that you fully complete your profile
    and to always keep your details up to date. This will
    allow us to ensure that you are invited to surveys
    more selectively.

Why is the invitation link to the survey not
working?

  • Deactivate your pop-up blocker
  • Use Chrome or Firefox as a browser
  • Avoid double-clicking the link
  • In case of doubt, copy the link to your browser
    before clicking the “take part” link
  • Always use the intended device
  • Please note that every link can be clicked only once.
    As soon as you have clicked a link, the survey is
    considered to be started and it cannot be
    opened/re-started after the browser window is
    closed.

Why am I told that I do not qualify for the
survey?

  • Specific questions are used to determine whether a
    participant matches the target group.
  • The survey is terminated early on, if you don’t
    match the target group

Why am I being told that the required number
of participants has already been reached,
shortly after starting the survey?

  • Once the number of responses we intended to get is
    attained, we always close the survey thus trying to
    access the survey will prompt this message.

How can I re-start the survey or continue it
after an interruption?

  • Each survey link can be clicked only once. For this
    reason it is, unfortunately, not possible to take a
    break during the survey or to re-start it aer closing
    the browser window.
  • In the case of prolonged inactivity, there may be
    short interruptions of the internet connection
    leading to the survey being aborted.
  • For security reasons and due to international
    market research guidelines, a survey cannot be
    continued and the results cannot be included in the
    analysis.
