We aim to provide a relaxed and comfortable ambience to the respondents. This friendly atmosphere helps them to develop deeper ideas and opens up clearly with our moderators about the product. While conducting TDIs, the study and PII are kept confidential. It is only with the prior permission and consent of the respondent when a recording of the discussion is taken. We provide digital audio recordings of all the interviews to help our client verify and analyze the reliability of the interviews.

We make visits or calls to your location and answer questionnaires to give you feedback from the customer’s point of view. Philomath Research is one of the largest mystery shopping research companies with well trained and supervised shoppers in the state.

Online/Offline Diary or Journal

Diary Studies offer researchers unprecedented access to consumer’s evolving opinions. Diary Studies let panelists express their opinions over a period of time, in an open-ended format that is as easy as tapping their smartphone screen after a push notification. With Diary Studies, not only can you track those changes, but you can also find out exactly what caused them and how they evolved.

In-Home Used Test

Product Evaluation studies deliver more vivid insights from in-store and after-visit surveys by bringing the special capabilities of respondents. Philomath Research helps clients learn about what respondents think and feel in their own words, generating a new magnitude of depth and detail. Clients have a choice of excellent options: a traditional product-evaluation survey, yielding crisp, in-the-moment-insights, or multimedia-enhanced, in-their-own-words responses that bring another dimension of vividness and immediacy.

Shop-Along

Shop Along is a shopping experience or exercise which can be monitored in real time by a researcher either in-person or by receiving information from smartphone surveys, hidden video cameras etc. Participants for shop-along can be recruited to the experience ahead of time or via intercepts. A discussion guide or descriptive exercise is shared, and the participant is monitored. The entire interactive experience can be captured via an online survey or portal and video.

Online Community or Bulletin Boards

Taking inspiration from the success of social networking websites and topic portals, Online Communities / Boards are founded upon an online community platform that has been custom designed for research purposes. The community centers on a series of discussion topics that follow much the same format as any other discussion thread that takes place online.

Philomath Research always makes sure that the respondent will be active throughout the community/ board period. We encourage our respondents to spontaneously contribute their own content on the community topic, whether in the form of discussions, blog entries, video journals or other multimedia.

We help clients to gather more in-depth and reflective insight compared to shorter-term qualitative research techniques.
