[excerpt] The use of IM as a qualitative research platform has given the industry an innovative means to converse with respondents online during traditionally static surveys. In that regard, this platform and the accompanying methodology help add a story to the statistics by delving deeper into the motivations and reasoning that comprise respondent answers.
The results we received from the iModerate one-on-one, in-depth conversations were much more enlightening than what we typically garner from open-ended verbatim responses. The live moderator offers us the ability and flexibility to probe deeper on certain points, enabling us to get stronger, less vague information. That unique capability has proved extremely valuable to us, and has made this IM-based platform an integral part of our research toolbox.
