OpinioNation Individual Project Program 2017
- 1. OpinioNation Inc. Individual Project Option When OpinioNation Inc.is awarded a contract to conduct a survey / evaluation study for a client or an individual project, our Project Services could include all or part of the following: 1. Questionnaire consultation and formulation. 2. TOUCHSCREEN SURVEYCENTRE / SurveyPad programming. OpinioNation has 26 years of experience utilizing our specialized interactive evaluation technology. The questions, answers and the wording of such must adhere to professional market research standards. It is understood to ensure that typical respondent completes the survey in the appropriate length of time and has an enjoyable experience. The questionnaires are to be programmed in the manner that OpinioNation recommends this includes the layout and presentation of screens. OpinioNation recommends that the first screen be a Welcome screen with a graphic or logo supplied by the client (in jpg format). The graphics/logos can also be included as part of the thank you screen and even as part of a question screen. If questionnaires are required in additional languages for example French, Spanish, Italian, German etc.., our software branch logic feature allows the evaluations to move between the languages and other evaluations in a blink of an eye. It also allows for the treeing and skipping of questions based on prior answers or multiples of answers. 3. Evaluation pre-tests. OpinioNation will conduct a pre-test of the evaluation with project officials. The purpose of the pre-test is to: a) Ensure that respondents can clearly read and understand the evaluation; b) Easily record their answers by simply touching the screen with their finger; and c) The time it takes to complete the evaluation is not too long for a typical respondent. Following the pre-test any changes (if required) to an evaluation/questionnaire are be made by OpinioNation immediately. 4. Use of TOUCHSCREEN SURVEYCENTRE(s) and /or SurveyPads for conducting the on- site evaluations. A senior OpinioNation representative arrives a bit ahead of the project launch to set-up the TOUCHSCREEN SURVEYCENTRES / SurveyPads on-site in an area designated by the Project Officer. All the client needs to supply is a table(s) to place the unit(s) on, power outlet for the units, minor signage and a secure place to lock & store the units when they are not collecting data. Some of our past clients have chosen to have available small tokens giveaways such as: pens; pins; business card holders; T-shirts; coffee mugs, bags; CD’s; etc...
- 2. In the effort to obtain the largest sampling of respondents possible, some clients, choose to have an OpinioNation representative on-site to actively, invite people to participate in the evaluation. In other cases, the projects call for respondents to be randomly selected and that too can easily be done. 5. Data Collection Dates To be determined by the requirements of the project. 6.
