Step 4 - Choosing how to invite and source participants

Choosing Participants

On entering the Participants step in the survey wizard the Survey participant panel will be shown. Make a selection from the available project lists from your Panel Manager, OR select an 'intercept survey' type to place the link of your survey anywhere on the web.

Intercept surveys will generate a link once the survey has started. This link can then be used in your favourite mass mail application or email client. An intercept survey link will look like this: https://surveys.groupquality.com/survey/c/intercept/4A90a10cC/ You can also add a tag to the survey to track the origin By Adding '?sid=some-text-or-code-to-track-the-survey'

Please note: do not click on the intercept link and then copy and paste the link from the website browser address bar. This is not a survey link, but is a link for one individual generated survey. If you see a link like this: http://surveys.groupquality.com/survey/c/77777?page_number=1 - do not add this as a link in your email. It will send everyone in your mailing list the same generated survey and cause confusion. Only use the link shown in your survey summary page.

If you need to source participants you also have the option of buying participants for your survey.

If you you have not yet created a participant project list, you can go to the Panel Manager and create a Project list and either upload participants or select from your current panel members.

Please note: if you choose to purchase participants for your survey please select the "Intercept" option before selecting the "Buy participants" button.

Purchasing Participants

Select the Buy participants button and a quote form window will appear.

Please complete the form in as much detail as possible before submitting for a quotation.

You may also request help form us to review your survey or write a survey for you. It maybe that you are recruiting for an online discussion or a live group and we can assist with this too.

Please note: you can also request a quote once you have finished setting up your survey by selecting the Buy participants button from the survey Details page.

Once we receive your quote request we will contact you via our support centre to ask any more questions and work out a price for you.

You can cancel your quote request at any time before you agree to the price. To cancel your request you can select the red CANCEL REQUEST from the Participants step in the survey wizard or from the survey summary page.

Once the quote has ben agreed upon we will post the survey redirect details and information about the panel quote in a message area located on the surveys summary page.

Select the Save and Continue button to move to the next step in the wizard.
