Diary research
How do people really use your product, service or brand? Do you really know when they experienced it, who else was there, and what media they were exposed to that day? Do you know what it looked like in their hand, home or office and how they felt about it?
People are willing to let you into their lives--all you have to do is ask.
Contextual feedback is the key. Our solutions allow you to prompt people with flexible alarms and reminders, as well as self-initiate their feedback. They can take a photo, record their voice, and even fill out grids, sliders and checkboxes. We can send all of this back to you in real-time so that you can learn as you go and even encourage compliance throughout the duration of your research study.
