What is the MarketView Panel?
MarketView is a panel of Australians from all over the country who participate in surveys. MarketView is managed by I-View, a division of IPSOS SA, one of the ten largest research firms in the world. Our clients want to know what you think about their products and services and how they can make them better. They also want to know your ideas on current events and social issues.
How do I become a member?
To become a member you only need to fill out our membership survey. The survey asks questions about who you are and what you do. We use your information to determine which future surveys you might want to participate in. Click here to become a member of the MarketView panel.
Does it cost anything to become a member?
Absolutely not. Membership is completely FREE. We use the term member because once you register with us, you become a part of the MarketView community. The community is a special group of people who are invited to participate in market and social research surveys.
What are the benefits of becoming a member?
As a MarketView member you are able to provide your feedback and opinions on a wide variety of topics. Each survey gives you the opportunity to be awarded points which equate to dollars that can be accrued over time, and recovered for merchandise from our On Line Shopping Store. Some of our surveys offer the chance to see new products or services from companies before the general public does. Our clients are some of the world's largest computer, consumer goods, automotive, food manufacturers and web based companies. A few of our surveys will also provide you with information about how other people in your age group or career feel about the same issues.
How do you use my personal information?
The information we gather during registration helps us to select people for our surveys. For example: if we do a survey for a large computer game developer, we might use state and age information to find MarketView members who live in New South Wales and who are 18-23 years of age. Your information is used to help us target the right people for the survey. The information is also used to help our clients understand the demographic characteristics of those who complete their survey.
Will you sell any of my information?
NO! We will never give anyone outside of our company your personal information. The information you provide to us is used only for legitimate research purposes and to determine who is best suited for a survey.
How do I change my contact information?
The easiest way is to log in above and change your details in the Change Details section
How will you contact me?
For surveys, we will always contact you via e-mail. The e-mail we send to you will provide you with the survey URL or web address directing you to our survey site to take the most recent survey. If we need to send you a cheque or merchandise we will contact you via email. If we are inviting you to participate in a Telephone Survey, a Group Discussion or Focus Group, we will still send you an e-mail invitation asking you to contact us at a specific telephone number, if you are interested. We also have our newsletters which are sent via e-mail to keep you informed on panel news and views.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small bit of information that is stored in a user's browser, often just a code that contains the server name and a generated string of unique text and numbers. A cookie cannot be used to get data from your hard drive. Cookies are used to store information about what pages you have requested within that specific site, unless the visitor has specifically offered personal information already on the site (i.e. through a registration form). There is no way for a site to know more about that individual. Cookies are beneficial in research to determine where you have "left-off" in the survey if you wish to pick up again at a later time.
Why can't I view graphics with my AOL browser?
We sometimes hear from our AOL members who have trouble viewing graphics with their web browser. There are many factors that can influence the quality of graphics. The easiest and fastest way to better viewing would be to upgrade your AOL to the latest version. All earlier versions of AOL have limitations on viewing graphic attachments. Another way is to use the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape which seems to be the best browser software for viewing graphics. Even if you connect through AOL, you can still use one of these browsers to access the Internet. The last concern would be to check your AOL "Preference for Web Graphics" settings. Make sure you have the option set at "uncompressed". This should help although it may take a little longer to load a web page.
