What is panel management?

Panel management is how organizations carry out research to large groups of consumers, known as panels. A panel of respondents is used for a wide variety of projects including marketing research, competitor analysis, product tests, advertising testing and many more.

Typically, panels are either managed in-house or sourced via a sampling company. Managing a panel in-house is considered a more cost-effective way to reach out to consumers for feedback as they have already opted-in to be on the panel and have a vested interest in that organization’s research.

In-house panel management also allows you to build rich profiles of your panelists, enabling organizations to specifically target detailed customer profiles to get the data they need from the right audience.

Managing a panel involves recruiting panel members, distributing surveys to them and also rewarding panelists. Panel management software allows organizations to do all of that on a single, intuitive platform, making it easier to manage every aspect of panel research.
