Research methods: Telephone Interviews (CATI)

We have our own in-house telephone unit using specialist computer-aided telephone interviewing (CATI) software.

It’s a cost-effective way of reaching respondents across geography and demography, especially as our 90 CATI staff are trained to MRS standards to obtain information as efficiently and politely as possible. Telephone interviews are great for short questionnaires where respondents don’t need any visual stimuli, but they’re also ideal for longer, in-depth interviews, when we can probe for insightful and useful feedback.

Some things you might not know about our CATI services:

3) Our CATI unit can operate 24/7:

“When researching product placement for Big Brother they used some new more innovative methodologies including eye tracking and neuroscience which enabled us to gain a detailed insight into the effectiveness of the campaign.
