A parallel study is typically conducted once

Attain representative (and comparable) study results online
The online population is increasingly attractive to marketers and researchers. As a result, a growing number of professionals are turning to high-quality online panels, like the Harris Poll Online (HPOL), in order to reach general population and desired specialty groups. What’s more, demographic and propensity weighting can be used to help ensure representativeness. Mixed-mode via phone is also a valuable solution when online and traditional, in conjunction, makes sense.
