What is the value proposition for a business professional to take surveys?
A B2B panel provider’s Participant Incentive Program is about understanding the B2B panelist’s value proposition for participating in research.
Understanding that not every person is motivated by the same types of rewards. As marketers and business decision-makers, it is simple to grasp the value proposition concept and appreciate the challenge in delivering one.
Leverage data and insights to keep B2B panelists engaged by offering incentives, content, access, insights, and rewards where they find value. We continuously evaluate what keeps survey participants vested in the research process:
- Keeping panelist profile data current
- Expanding and tailoring dynamic content to match respondent profile interests
- Using economic rewards when appropriate and useful
Value propositions between the panel company and respondents are settled in dynamic ways beyond cash rewards via access to business reports, entertainment, events, more commercial-free time, and cash.
Industry Verticals for B2B Screening Panels
What categories can you select for targeting for online surveys with panel services?
When your business is looking to do market research studies with a target audience of primarily business professionals, you can define your target market by selecting an industry or set of industries first. You can use SIC codes or NAICS when targeting broadly for B2B online surveys in North America. While other regions do have their own respective catalogs, these lists may be used as a guide.
The following is a guide to typical items for providing proper targeting specifications:
- Industry coverage is broad: Healthcare, Automotive, Tech, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Retail, CPG, Government, and more.
- Industry Categories: SIC CODES for a detailed taxonomy of US industry verticals and specialties. (see also NAICS CODES)
- Number of Employees: Small, Medium, Large Enterprises Business.
- Company Turnover: Small, Medium, Large Enterprises Business.
- Company Location: Local, Regional, Global
- Other**
What are SIC Codes?
We use country-based or international codes for industry verticals. Standardized Industry Codes are uniform codes that business and financial sectors use to classify customers and prospects and beneficial information to have on your research essentials list.
How do you determine company size?
How big a company is or the ‘organization size’ can be determined in several ways. Generally, it depends on revenue data, but sometimes this data is unknown because the company financials are not readily available.
This could be because the business is a privately held concern or the data is not reliable or easily accessible. In these situations, employee size often is an appropriate alternative indicator.
Most of the time, looking at the combination of revenue/employee size and market share is the best way to assess a company’s true size relative to the competitive landscape.
