INSIGHTS EXCHANGE

Online Communities Case Study

 
Sydney-based Insights Exchange is a global research company which connects businesses and brands with global research and insights specialists. It uses Qualzy as its preferred platform for online communities research.
Founder and CEO of Insights Exchange, Nichola Quail, was kind enough to share her thoughts in a recent case study, which you can read in full by hitting the bottom below.

The relationship started some time back at a QRCA international conference over a cup of tea. The company began to use Qualzy soon after – but, when the pandemic rapidly restricted traditional face to face research methodologies such as focus groups, online communities came into their own. Insights Exchange and their researcher network began to use Qualzy in earnest.

“We’ve done many things you would typically assume are more suited to a focus group, such as trying to uncover how a brand is perceived. It all works just as well in Qualzy as it does in a focus group room.”

Even since options to do face-to-face research returned, the appeal of online research and the popularity of online communities does not seem to have diminished. The evidence from Insights Research is that the ability to reach across a continent, or even further, offers too valuable a set of benefits.

“Qualzy enables us not just to truncate the research timeline, but to reach a wide range of people from around the country cost-effectively. If you were running focus groups the old way and sending people to Perth and Brisbane, it would cost a fortune in flights and time.”

Nichola Quail, Founder & CEO, Insights Exchange

Insights Exchange values not just the flexibility of the Qualzy platform but how inviting and nice it is to use. Nichola describes it as “a vibrant platform, not just flexible but very creative in the way we can use it,” noting that the team finds it particularly useful in working with visual stimulus material.

Insights Exchange has tried out many different platforms to find one that delivers on its needs. It is happy to say that Qualzy is not just the preferred platform, but also one that ticks all the boxes, enabling the Insights Exchange team to work effectively and use AI in a way that is still human.

“We’ve found our sweet spot with Qualzy.”
