Good sampling requires a process which is as close as possible to random. True random sampling is virtually impossible but you can certainly get much closer to it.
We realised that there are many large corporations in South Africa with impressive customer databases. If we could find a way to tap into that resource for the purpose of creating random samples this would be a great leap forward.
We achieve this goal by forming partnerships with these large corporations with customer databases.
In return for them mailing their databases with invitations to participate in our surveys, we offer them their own bespoke survey which gets appended to our main survey. This bespoke survey is called a partner survey. The partner survey belongs to the partner.
The survey to which the partner survey is appended is called the core survey. The core survey belongs to us and this is the data which we sell to users and which we ourselves use for the purpose of producing profiler reports. Our largest core survey is Brand Atlas (click on the
‘Brand Atlas’ tab to learn more).
To encourage participation in our prize surveys we negotiate valuable and desirable prizes with prize sponsors and offer survey completers the chance of winning these prizes.
