Pitfalls of “don’t know/no opinion” answer options in surveys
In this new blog article we dig deeper into the use of the “don’t know” and “no opinion” (“DK/NO”) answer options in closed questions. After all, there is some debate in the scientific literature on whether to include or omit them. After extensively discussing the pros and cons of adding/omitting these answer options, we will provide you with some recommendations on how to deal with these answer options.

CheckMarket makes SSL encryption the default
Our users have always had the option of using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to create a secure encrypted connection between their computer and CheckMarket. If it is now turned on by default for all users and all surveys.
What is SSL (or HTTPS)?
SSL verifies the identity of a company (CheckMarket) over the internet with a certificate authority. If everything checks out, CheckMarket and your computer establish an initial connection called a handshake. During the handshake the connection will determine which kind of encryption or scrambling it will use. The agreement created during the handshake is used to set up a secure connection between CheckMarket and your computer, called a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Now the connection between CheckMarket and your computer is secure, and not at risk from third party infiltration.

New message bar – The devil is in the detail
The response rate of a survey is important, but as researchers, we often use only fully completed surveys. That means we need to get people to take the time to reach the end of a survey. While there is lot of talk about gamification and other high-end solutions, as is often the case, the devil is in the detail. We have always worked hard to keep page-load times down in our survey tool. If a respondent feels a survey takes too long to load between pages, they are gone. We have also worked hard to make our surveys mobile friendly.

Build custom dashboards
An important phase of the research process is the presentation of results. One of the more engaging ways to present research results is through online dashboards. A dashboard provides a summary of the most important results or findings related to a particular subject in a visual way, arranged on a single web page.
Dashboards can be connected to live data that is automatically updated in real-time with results coming from one or more survey projects. So you are able to visualize and share key information, whenever you want and quicker than ever. A dashboard is easy to access via internet or intranet.

How to embed a survey in a mobile app
Mobile app usage has exploded in the last few years. Just like their website counterparts, app makers need feedback from their users.
While there are great systems for tracking how your app is used, connecting that info to who those users are and finding out what their motivations are, is what surveys do well.
But how? You could reinvent the wheel and write custom code to get the answers or use CheckMarket’s powerful survey tool to generate a survey and then embed the survey in your app. Using the same kind of code you would use to request a review for the app store, ask users to fill in a survey. Since the survey is coming from our servers, you can change the questions without updating your app!

How to deal with sensitive topics in a survey?
Suppose you are the Employee Satisfaction Manager at a European multinational and you would like to conduct an employee satisfaction survey. More precisely, as you have heavily invested into an equal opportunities policy in the past year, you would like to find out if your investment is starting to pay off. In other words, if there are any differences in satisfaction between socio-demographic minority and majority groups. As a result, in order to be able to study this, you have to identify your minority groups. Consequently you have to ask your respondents/employees about some potentially sensitive topics such as sexual orientation, religious beliefs, … In other situations, subjects such as political preferences, income, various attitudes and behaviours, etc. are also considered to be sensitive issues.

Added “Date To Be Mailed” field to Survey API
We have updated our API and of course all the changes are non-breaking ;-). Beside the usual performance improvements, one of the changes worth mentioning here is the addition of the new “DateToBeMailed” field. This allows you to add multiple contacts to a survey but have them invited at different times.

CheckMarket is the first survey tool to introduce 2-step verification
2-step verification drastically reduces the chances of someone breaking into a user’s account. Why? Because criminals would have to not only get the user’s password and username, they’d have to get a hold of their phone as well.

Event marketing: tips voor event enquêtes
Een organisator kan voor, tijdens en na een event waardevolle inzichten verzamelen die helpen om het event steeds weer succesvol te maken.
Met een event enquête kan je vooraf peilen naar de verwachtingen, tijdens en na het event de tevredenheid meten en lessen trekken voor een volgende editie.
Vroeger was de kwaliteitsmeting tijdens events beperkt tot een invulformulier aan de uitgang of een e-mailuitnodiging enkele dagen of weken na het event. Vandaag de dag is de manier van evalueren veranderd en zijn de mogelijkheden een pak uitgebreider.
Alexander Dobronte, zaakvoerder van CheckMarket en enquêtespecialist focust in dit gesprek op de do’s and don’ts van event enquêtes aan de hand van praktische voorbeelden en tips. Ook de laatste trends en mogelijkheden zoals QR codes passeren de revue.

Likert Scales vs. Slider Scales in commercial market research
The Likert Scale – in its various formats – is widely used, for instance in psychology, social sciences but also in commercial market research. Respondents may be asked about their attitudes, perceptions or evaluations of organisations, services or brands. The use of Likert Scales, however, has come under scrutiny. It is argued that the traditional 5-point rating scales are boring, repetitive and overly long. The proposed alternative is the Slider Scale. The question then is this: are Slider Scales really better than Likert Scales?

Manage the follow-up of dissatisfied respondents
In this day and age of social media, where unhappy customers tell the world about their bad customer experience with a click, it is imperative to quickly and efficiently handle complaints and negative responses from surveys.
When we introduced real-time alerts in 2011, we had no idea how popular it would become. Now, a lot of best practice has surfaced and one of these is how to manage, track and report the follow-up of alerts.
Let’s take a look at a structured follow-up method, using CheckMarket’s platform itself.

Why there needs to be a European variant of the Net Promoter Score
The popularity of Net Promoter ScoreSM is staggering. We see it used constantly in both B2C and B2B surveys. Its utter simplicity is extremely attractive to managers sick of the overly complex reports they are used to getting from the market research industry. What I want to talk about is the impact of culture on NPS®. I started thinking about it when a long-time client of ours in the Netherlands was acquired by an American company. The American company placed great importance on NPS even basing bonuses on it. The American company was surprised at what a low NPS score the Dutch Company was getting. The score wasn’t low, it was just above 0 which in NPS terms is actually neutral.

Geautomatiseerde meldingen: neem actie en win
Geautomatiseerde meldingen maken van uw enquêtes tweerichtingscommunicatie. Wanneer een respondent bepaalde antwoorden geeft of een zeker antwoordpatroon volgt, kan u een automatische melding ontvangen. Zo kan u meteen reageren en communiceren met uw respondenten.
U kan bijvoorbeeld automatisch ontevreden respondenten herkennen op basis van een NPS- of algemene tevredenheidsvraag. Automatische berichten laten u toe onmiddellijk op te volgen. Welke meldingen zijn mogelijk?

Op 20 maart 2009, maakte CheckMarket een account aan op Twitter. Ondertussen hebben wij meer dan 1,200 tweets de wereld ingestuurd.

Het foute onderzoek
Het CheckMarket team is niet alleen een goed geoliede machine, er schuilt ook nog verborgen (acteer)talent in onze gelederen. Een tijdje geleden ontstond het initiatief om via een ludiek filmpje de kwaliteiten van CheckMarket in de verf te zetten. Onze medewerkers zetten hun beste beentje voor om te demonstreren hoe een marktonderzoek vooral niét moet gevoerd worden.
Een Oscarnominatie zit er waarschijnlijk niet in, maar na heel wat takes mag het resultaat toch gezien worden! U kan dit met eigen ogen bewonderen.

Enquêteren in het ‘social media’ tijdperk
Afhankelijk van uw doelstellingen kiest u bij de uitwerking van uw enquêteproject voor één of meerdere doelgroepen. Facebook fans of Twitter volgers zijn een mogelijke populatie. De sociale netwerken hebben een enorm potentieel. Hieronder staan enkele kerncijfers voor de grote drie.

Nieuwe gezichten, nóg betere service
Dat CheckMarket nog steeds in volle groei is, kon u in de eerdere edities van deze nieuwsbrief reeds lezen. Onze bedrijf is eerst verhuisd, vervolgens verruimd en zowel ons support- als ons designteam kenden al een versterking. Ook de start van het paper team betekende een belangrijke nieuwigheid, maar nog zitten we niet stil.
Het voorbije jaar mochten wij nog eens 4 nieuwe medewerkers verwelkomen, die zich elk binnen hun eigen vakgebied zullen inzetten om dezelfde of -waar mogelijk- een nog betere service te kunnen bieden.
