Why is buying survey responses beneficial to your company?
Survey responses help researchers get answers from real people to make decisions. Purchasing a research sample from a trusted sample provider only helps capture this data quicker and more accurately. As online panels are reliable, businesses use survey responses collected from panel members to make accurate decisions, especially in a high-competition market. The reasons for buying survey responses from online panels? Speed of responses, the accuracy of data, and reliability of panelists.
Here are a few scenarios of buying survey responses:
- Market research surveys: Before launching a product or service in the market, businesses run a market research survey to gauge the product or service’s success. For this, they conducted a market research study by buying only a selected set of respondents who fit their targeting criteria. These respondents help the business test new ideas like product packaging, design, and pricing research.
For example, a cat food company wants to begin doing business in California. Their population of interest would be all cat owners in California. The company will approach a panel provider to target survey respondents to reach out to these owners for further decision-making. - Customer satisfaction: Customers are the driving force for any business or organization. Organizations must understand their customers to see what can be improved and profit. Thus, they run customer satisfaction surveys to read customers better. They use the feedback provided by end-users to make improvements, hence expanding and flourishing the business from the survey results. Organizations continuously monitor the performance of their brand by acquiring survey responses.
For example, customer satisfaction surveys are sent out at various touchpoints in the airline industry, like after the flight is booked or after the actual trip. In some cases, airlines collect survey responses after the customer contacts customer service or even after six months after the flight to gauge customer loyalty. Airlines try to find out how they can improve their service. - Monitoring competition: Market monitoring is a continuous activity. It helps businesses understand market dynamics. Organizations always need to remain on top and continuously monitor their competition. Thus, they conduct due diligence on their competition with the survey results.

How to buy survey respondents for online research?
Once you design your survey, various channels can get survey responses. Researchers must pay for some, while the others are free channels. Let’s look at the most common avenues to target survey respondents.
- Panel providers: Hands down, panel providers are the best source of getting survey responses. Panel providers manage a massive community of pre-screened survey respondents who are ready to take surveys. It is a widely used source of targeting survey respondents to get accurate survey results.
- API: An application program interface (API) is a great platform for purchasing survey responses. A researcher logs into the panel provider’s tool and chooses the population of interest, the location of the survey, the number of survey responses needed, and a few other details. Once the audience is specified, the tool launches the study directly, and answers start coming in automatically.
- Website/ blog: Websites and blogs are excellent platforms to target respondents for a survey. The researcher (individual or organization) posts a link to the survey online on his website and can offer incentives for individuals taking the survey.
- Email lists: One of the best ways of surveying the target market is by leveraging the existing client base. Using a tool like HubSpot even helps to send out automatic ‘reminders’ to the respondents who have not taken the survey.
- Social media: The scope of social media today is extensive. Social media helps you get direct feedback from customers and potential clients. Promoting a survey on social media shows the customers that their opinions are valued, resulting in a high incidence rate.
- Kiosks: Kiosks are a great way to grab respondents. Brands place them at trade shows, malls, museums, and other public places. They generally place kiosks at the check-out area or near the billing desks to capture their customer experience.
