Methodology
CLTs offer researchers a structured environment to gather insights efficiently. By assembling participants in a central location, researchers can closely monitor and control variables, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the data – all whilst collecting real-time feedback from participants. This method allows for standardised procedures, facilitating comparisons across different participants and research projects, and gives the opportunity for real-world simulation of product usage.
Recruitment considerations
Participant eligibility
As with any methodology, it’s important you’re speaking to the right people.
Our deeply-profiled panel and experienced screening team will guarantee each participant’s suitability for the CLT.
Location
Recruiting participants from the desired geographic location and surrounding areas can be challenging.
At Roots, we’ve meticulously grown our panel to facilitate coverage across all regions, especially the major metropolitan areas.
Participant engagement
It’s key to keep participants engaged and motivated throughout the CLT for reliable data.
Our carefully curated panel is best-in-class for engagement – you can rely on us for top quality insights! Our participants are fully informed of what is expected of them throughout the CLT session.
Attendance & scheduling
Dropouts or no-shows can severely impact a CLT schedule and affect the quality of the insights gained. Coordinating schedules for participants, especially those with busy schedules, can also be challenging.
We ensure, through our clear communication and contingency planning, that attendance is never an issue on our projects. Our expert project coordinators will handle all your scheduling needs.
