WHY:
The issue of sample quality has reached a boiling point. Researchers are now keenly aware of the high degree of overlap across popular online panels. However, duplicate panelists aren’t the only problem the industry faces. Recent research from MarketTools shows that approximately 24 percent of panelists are not who they say they are.

As a result, it’s no longer a question of whether we have a problem with sample quality. The issue now is how to understand and deal with sample quality in order to protect the integrity of research and ensure confidence in the business decisions researchers and executives make based on survey data. This webcast will discuss how researchers can do just that.
