A new equation in research: app-tracking + GeoValidation® = unprecedented data

Targeting the right respondents is crucial to getting good research data, so MFour Mobile Research has developed a new pipeline to push surveys to consumers based on the smartphone apps they use. Hoteliers, for example, can find out what people who’ve downloaded their chain’s reservation app liked or didn’t like about their most recent stay -- from broad impressions to the most detailed particulars about check-ins, minibars and bellhops. Or they can eavesdrop on what a competitor’s app-using customers say about its own amenities and services.

The value of surveying app-users about their consumer experiences extends across all business sectors. MFour’s leadership position as the first and only all-mobile research company means it can infuse app-targeting surveys with even greater capabilities. We power all of our clients’ projects with the most advanced mobile-survey technology. With us, they can leverage the nation’s most effective survey panel – the million-member active panel that uses MFour’s own signature smartphone app, the 4.5-star rated Surveys on the Go.® You get fast, reliable results that fully include typically hard-to-reach demographics such as Hispanics and Millennials.

The app tracker accesses the 50% of our panel that uses Android devices. Knowing the apps they have, we can lead you to a rich, new vein of fast, reliable data. Rather than asking panel members which apps they use, MFour’s app-targeting is based on passive tracking that automatically identifies and verifies the apps they’ve downloaded. This tool becomes even more powerful when combined with another proprietary feature, the GPS-enabled respondent-locator we call GeoValidation®.

GeoValidation® certifies when panelists have arrived at a given retail outlet or other location that’s relevant to your survey. You can then field a survey to be completed on the spot, before respondents have finished shopping, or shortly after they’ve left, while the experience is fresh in mind. So a market researcher seeking insights about a hotel-chain’s customers (or its competitors’ customers) doesn’t have to ask hotel-app users to recall their most recent stay, which may have happened months ago. Pairing app-tracking with GeoValidation,® this study would proceed from a sure understanding that its subjects were current guests, or travelers who had just checked out. To call the resulting data “premium” would be a serious understatement.

Facebook continues to grow incredibly rich – thanks to its big bet on connecting with people who use mobile devices.

Here are the mobile-relevant numbers from Facebook’s latest earnings report, released today. MFour Mobile Research, the leader and pioneer in all-mobile consumer surveys, urges the market research industry to take special note.

•  Facebook had 1.51 billion unique monthly active mobile users during the first three months of 2016. They accounted for 91.5% of the site’s users.
•   Mobile users were up 21% from the first quarter of 2015.
•  Facebook raked in $4.3 billion in mobile advertising. That accounted for 79% of the company’s $5.4 billion in revenue.
• Facebook made a $2 billion profit for the quarter, more than double last year’s take for the first quarter.

The social media giant has come a long way from 2012, when it had virtually no mobile ad revenue.  As the New York Times put it in a recent article, Facebook “was late to realize the importance of mobile phones; for years, its smartphone app was a slow, kludgy mess, and until just a few years ago it had no mobile revenue to speak of…. Facebook now derives the vast majority of its revenue from mobile ads. Its sales are growing at a breathtaking clip.”

Market research also has been “late to realize the importance of mobile phones.”  But as Facebook shows us, it’s better late than never – WAY better.

MFour, based in Irvine, CA., invented all-mobile consumer research in 2011. Its million-member active panel of survey-takers is the largest, most diverse posse you can reach via smartphone for fast, demographically inclusive, high-impact consumer insights. Now MFour is democratizing mobile research with MFourDIY, its new do-it-yourself mobile survey platform. Check out a special introductory offer at mfourdiy.com.

Mobile rules. Mobile earns. Don’t take our word for it, take Mark Zuckerberg’s.

MFour’s ongoing webinar series educating market research professionals about its powerful yet simple to use new MFourDIY survey-building platform continues Thursday, April 28 at 11 a.m., Pacific Time.

• “Easy to program and field.” Derek Turk, Vice President of Ratings & Research, Lionsgate Entertainment Inc.

• "The best DIY research.” Micah Mack, Shopper Insights Marketing Manager, PepsiCo

“We’re democratizing all-mobile research. We’ve got the only all-mobile platform and it’s getting rave reviews,” St. Hilaire said.

MFour Mobile Research, the only market research firm that can boast an all-mobile survey panel, has boosted its active-panel size to more than a million strong.

Since January, 198,000 new panelists have signed up for MFour’s signature Surveys on the Go® application, vaulting it past the million-member milestone.

What explains MFour’s panel’s phenomenal growth? In a nutshell, the Surveys on the Go® app makes survey-taking fun, fast and easy. MFour’s panelists have flocked to the invitation to “Be Heard. Get Paid,” and come away satisfied. The proof is in the 4.5-star rating they’ve given the Surveys on the Go® app.

Panelists who take surveys enjoy three easy-payment options – PayPal, Amazon gift cards or Visa. Here’s what some Surveys on the Go® panelists have been saying:

★★★★★
Money by the Click of a Button
Easy Surveys, Fun, Surveys, Amazing Customer Support, you actually earn. Some payout $10. All from your phone! I LOVE THEM!!!!... i want more.
by Lourdes Vasquez on 2016-04-10

★★★★★
So fun and easy!
The payout starts to add up fairly quickly and mostly all of the surveys are fun to take. You even get a small payout even if you don't qualify for a particular survey.

MFour’s co-founder and CEO, Chris St. Hilaire, personally tracks every rating and comment as part of the company’s promise to deliver the best mobile research, rising from the best and best cared-for mobile panel.

“It’s a pretty simple proposition. Treat your panel fairly and honestly and they’ll keep coming back,” said, St. Hilaire.

Consequently, the nation’s only all-mobile panel continues to grow by 2,000 – 3,000 new panelists per day without paid advertising.  Panelists form the backbone of the unique platform that meets quotas, fields surveys and amasses data faster than any other. Especially significant, MFour is the research industry’s mainline to Millennials, the rising, hard-to-reach generation of key consumers who won’t answer surveys by email or the Internet because they’re living on their smartphones.

MFour was featured on the front page of the April 10 Jobs section of the OC Register. Check it out below.

Veteran Los Angeles Times reporter Mike Boehm has joined MFour Mobile Research as Director of Communications. Boehm will help the company extend its reach as the nation’s leading provider of mobile consumer research through its 4.5 star rated smart-phone application, Surveys on the Go®.
