buzzthepeople

In 2005 we decided that we should walk the talk and build our own panel. Since that time we have used varying approaches to build and engage a diverse group of New Zealanders.

Our population comes from everywhere.  Farmers in Southland to frothy milk coffee drinkers in Ponsonby Road.  They come in all ages, ethnicities and sizes - though the last point we don't plan to quantify any time soon!

Our mission is to ensure that Buzz.thePeople is New Zealand's highest quality research panel and in particular that our panel represents New Zealand both demographically and attitudinally.

So, unlike most other panels available in New Zealand:

  1. We have never recruited off any other New Zealand research or public panel, nor do we recruit through invitations at the end of our clients' surveys;
  2. We have designed a reward structure to ensure all sorts of people do our surveys, not just those motivated by a chance to win a prize or to earn money; 
  3. We have focused our recruitment offline, and not relied on online advertising such as AdWords or Facebook advertising to invite people onto our panel.

Our sophisticated rewards structure ensures the participation of a wide range of people from all walks of life, and the part we like best is our substantial community giving programme.
