About Nima Hunter Inc. Research Panels

Nima Hunter Research Panels represent the opinions of a broad cross section of industries and professions that use, purchase or recommend hardware, software, supplies or services for publishing, printing, or packaging. Individuals from organizations of all types and sizes are invited to participate.

Nima Hunter Research panelists take pride in helping our clients understand their perceptions and needs. We are constantly searching for people to join our panels, to help us shape the products and services of tomorrow.

Membership on Nima Hunter Research Panels is a unique opportunity to provide feedback directly to publishing, printing, imaging and communications hardware, software and supplies manufacturers. You will have the opportunity to provide your opinions of products, services and concepts. Plus, you will be provided with insights into new products and technologies before they're introduced to the market.

By building a large panel of users, we can quickly and efficiently conduct on-line surveys among people like you who will be shaping the future of our client's products and services. Not everyone is selected to participate in every study. It all depends on our clients' needs.

What are the benefits of being a member of a Nima Hunter Research Panel?

There are many benefits to being a member of our online panel. Most importantly, the surveys, online discussions and focus groups provide you with a forum to express your opinions and let manufacturers know what you think about many different products and services. Your answers can influence which products go to market or which ones are discontinued. In addition, completing most surveys will automatically enter you into a drawing for special prizes (usually cash), and in some instances, all participants are rewarded with an honorarium. Details about prizes and honorariums are included in survey notifications.

In addition, you'll become eligible for valuable incentives for participating in studies. Incentives provided to panelists for participating in studies include cash, free white papers, discounts on seminars, and special offers on market research reports, publications and other products. Each study has a different incentive award and incentives vary depending on the nature of the study.

How are Nima Hunter Research Panels used?

Surveys, online discussions, and focus groups that we conduct are used by manufacturers to evaluate new products or markets, track customers and competitors, measure advertising effectiveness, determine price sensitivity, assess market position and sales, identify market segments, measure customer satisfaction and explore new opportunities.

How does being a member of a Nima Hunter Research Panel work?

First, you'll need to take the member profile survey, where you'll have a chance to tell us about yourself and how you use (or don't use) various technology products. Since you provide us with this information when you become a member, we can keep future surveys much shorter and to the point. It also helps to ensure that you receive surveys that are appropriate for you. Once you are a member, you will be invited to complete online surveys and online discussions at your convenience. Occasionally panelists will be invited to participate in phone interviews and face-to-face focus groups.
