An online survey is a data collection tool used to gather information about individuals. Surveys are commonly used by market research agencies or businesses to collect data from consumers regarding their service or product. A survey may focus on factual information about individuals, purchasing behaviour, service satisfaction or it might aim to collect the opinions of the survey takers.

A survey is an interview with a willing respondent. It is research where an interviewer interacts with respondents to obtain facts, opinions and attitudes. Online surveys are the same thing, except the interview (survey) is presented online which allows for instant capture of data (information).

The surveys we send are from third parties and as a member of the Rewards system you are under no obligation to respond to any of the invitations that we send to you. You are part of an aggregated sample of consumers who are invited to participate in surveys. The personal questions included in some surveys are for the third party to gather information for the product they are researching.

Surveys, focus group and telephone interviews sometime have restrictions, such as age or income, and they can be as restrictive as have you travelled interstate in the past 3 months. For instance, a client may request that those who travel interstate to take a survey, but then screen out everyone but those who travelled in the past 3 months. A number of questions are typically qualifiers and determine whether or not you can go ahead to complete the survey itself.

The only way to get more surveys is by keeping your profile current.

Our emails are sent in HTML format, which can be read by all email software programs, however some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have "spam" filters and may believe we are sending you unsolicited e-mails. You should speak with your provider and ask why you are not able to receive our invitations.

If your ISP is not being cooperative, we suggest you create an alternate e-mail account with one of the free e-mail services (yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc.) and then update your profile in the Purkle database. Also about 20% of our invites bounce back to us because our members' free email accounts are over quota (full). Please make sure your email account has enough space to accept our emails.

Focus groups are conducted to gather understanding on how or why people hold certain beliefs about a topic or program of interest.

A focus group could be defined as a group of interacting individuals having some common interest or characteristics, brought together by a moderator, who uses the group and it's interaction as a way to gain information about a specific or focused issue.

A focus group is typically 7-10 people who are unfamiliar with each other. These participants are selected because they have certain characteristics in common that relate to the topic of the focus group. The group discussion is conducted several times with similar types of participants to identify trends and patterns in perceptions. Careful and systematic analysis of the discussions provides clues and insights as to how a product, service, or opportunity is perceived by the group.

A focus group is a form of qualitative research in which a group of people are asked about their perceptions, opinions, beliefs and attitudes towards a product, service, concept, advertisement, idea, or packaging. Questions are asked in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members.

Focus groups are typically 7-10 people and are very profile specific. For members that fit the profile the client is looking for, we will send an email to them and ask if they would like to participate in the focus group. If you agree to attend the focus group you will need to provide your contact details for the client to contact you to arrange the location of the group. On completing the focus group interview you will be credited the maximum amount of Purkle Dollars, which will appear in your personal members account.

A telephone interview is conducted with a willing respondent. It is research in which an interviewer conducts the interview by asking questions over the telephone with respondents to obtain facts, opinions and attitudes. Telephone interviews are the same as surveys, except the interview (survey) is conducted over the telephone which allows for instant capture of data (information).
