“What exactly is online qualitative research?
Online Focus Group
Online Focus Groups are real time chat rooms directed by a moderator on a collaborative software tool. They invite honest, immediate, initial reactions from the group and remove the “group think” influence by having all participants type at the same time. Then, these initial reactions can be fully explored by the moderator. Moderators can speak to the entire group or have a more intimate conversation with only one participant to probe
an individual’s thoughts. Creative tools are launched in the chat room
and the cutting edge technology pushes the traditional focus group to new levels of depth.
Bulletin Boards
Bulletin boards are discussions that engage the respondent over a
period of time which can be days or weeks. Participation can be once
a day, twice a day, once a week, once a month – whatever involvement level the project requires. Respondents can participate at their convenience within a time frame.
Transcending time zone and geographic considerations, the bulletin board builds trust and delves into the insights in a way that many traditional focus groups just can’t achieve in the span of 2 hours. Pushing the imagination of the respondents and introducing visual images with text, the bulletin board structure encourages exploration of the factors most important to your client through diaries, photos concepts, collaboration, break out sessions and the traditional text responses. Crossing all possible demographic and geographic boundaries, Focus Forward’s recruitment to a bulletin board may be exactly what is required to take your research to the next level.
