Manufacturer Of A Leading Brand Of Ice Cream
Situation:
- Determine consumer purchasing intentions for current products and reactions to proposed co-branded products.
The difficulty -- the co-branded product didn't yet exist, but needed to be shown to respondents.

delivery of actual samples to respondents.

Situation:
- Measure how and why Americans are investing in relation to the ups and downs of the financial markets.
Solution:
- Tie each set of daily research results to the rise and fall of the markets.

ONLINE CASE #3:
Major Music Award Organization
Situation:
- To be eligible for an awards program, elementary schools first needed to go online and apply anonymously, then return later to review and complete their questionnaires. The anonymous approach required giving respondents a log-in and password before starting the survey.
Solution:
- Develop a protocol that automatically assigned a log-in and password after respondents completed the first page of the survey. This allowed them to leave the survey and come back later to review/complete their questionnaires.
ONLINE CASE #4:
Personal Computer Manufacturer & Weekly Business Magazine
Situation:
- The launch ad of a campaign was completed on a Friday. But the manufacturer wanted buyer feedback before giving their final approval to start running the ad three days later, on Monday.
Solution:
- The study was put online and ad testing began within three hours of receiving it on Friday.
- The survey was closed and data reported to the client at noon on Monday.
- Top-line data was made available in real-time via the Internet.
ONLINE CASE #5:
