What are market research panels?

A market research panel, also known as an online sample, is a group of people recruited to respond to a survey. They are typically chosen from a pre-arranged pool of respondents who’ve agreed to be contacted by a market research service in order to respond to surveys. The rapid growth of online survey software and market research has seen online samples replace traditional methods such as focus groups or telephone interviews. With a large number of people to choose from, brands can quickly and easily deploy market research studies to specific demographics or audience groups. As the respondents have already agreed to be part of a panel, online samples tends to achieve higher response rates than other methods such as using an existing customer database to conduct research.
