A parallel study is typically conducted once
Typically, a parallel offline and online study is conducted on a one-time
basis. After the transition is complete and all data and trends are analyzed,
most studies continue on one online track.
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.
