Finding respondents for research can be difficult and time consuming, especially if you need specific respondents. Panels provide a faster, easier way to find respondents for your research and these panel companies can help.
Research panels give you the convenience of having pre-screened respondents at your fingertips who are ready and willing to participate in surveys, studies or other types of research. Having these respondents on-hand lets you recruit large groups of participants quickly and easily in a wide variety of industries and specialties, either locally, nationally or globally. Whether a general audience is needed or a niche audience with specific ethnicities, occupations or age groups, this large reach allows you to choose from different types of respondents, from consumers to professionals and experts, to difficult-to-reach or difficult-to-find respondents. Panels let you target specific respondents, making the research more relevant and personalized. Here are some of the top companies offering online panels and other online research services.
