Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing is a new term which simply means getting feedback from customers
and users directly.
Thanks to the wonders of the internet it is no longer necessary to run focus
groups of representative users, nor to employ a phone-bank of telephone
researchers. It is now possible to gather statistically significant
feedback on our products and services by use of Hexagon's new online survey
tool, VoxPop.
Hexagon has on staff a trained market researcher whose role is to feed ideas in
as to how the product can be developed, and to relay what is best practice in
the industry.
Purchasers of the product have the option of seeking assistance as to what
drivers of perception, brand awareness and consumer behaviour they should be
surveying for. In this way we offer focussed industry support and
consulting to ensure that customers make the best use of the tool.
