Five Reasons to Choose Sparq

1. Speed

Sparq puts the power of online research at your fingertips so you can ask questions quickly and get the answers you need to adapt and thrive. No more waiting on outsourced research projects, sample sourcing or lengthy survey design time. What could be faster?

2. Flexibility

With a wide and expanding range of online customer interaction techniques, Sparq is a complete platform for managing all your online research needs. Author a survey today, start a group discussion tomorrow, ask your panelists to upload photos of their favorite experience the day after that. Or do all of these simultaneously. Only Sparq gives you the flexibility you need to conduct both quantitative and qualitative research from one convenient central location.

3. Control

The good news is advances in online research capabilities have democratized market research, making it more accessible than ever before. The bad news is this occasionally results in uncoordinated or – even worse – bad research from departments that previously would not have had the means. Sparq brings all your research efforts under centralized control again.

4. Connection

Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Yelp… whether you like it or not, conversations about your brand, your products and your company are happening all around you. A community panel of your own helps you understand what drives these conversations. Give your customers a forum to speak their mind, and they’ll bare their souls to you – directly.

5. Cost

Think all this power and control comes at a price you can’t afford? Think again. Sparq lets you squeeze a lot more research out of your budget, helping you justify the investment and proving its worth many times over. But don’t take our word for it – our customers say it best:

“Triple-digit ROI over the past three years.”
– Mass Mutual

“Over $650,000 in research costs saved.”
– USA Today

“We’ve performed 3 times the research at 1/3 the cost.”
– Vodafone
