How Daxue Consulting recruits participants for your online survey in China?

A common problem when conducting an online survey in China is finding the right respondents and collecting enough responses so that you have enough data to make informed decisions.When we look for online survey participants, we first start with your demographic criteria and the number of responses you need. We search for a panel company that specializes in the niche you are looking for so that you get the best possible results. When figuring out the best sample size for your online survey, we focus on three core aspects: The population size, the level of accuracy (a 5% margin of error is most commonly used), and confidence level, (a95% confidence level is most commonly used).

Data-cleaning is key for your online research in China

Data cleaning can be a time-consuming process, but well worth the effort to ensure that invalid and biased responses are removed. We look for data inconsistencies such as straight-lining, Christmas-tree behavior, and other data inconsistencies as these are often indicators of poor data quality. Our data analysts never introduce their biases with working on the analysis. Furthermore, we utilize an advanced survey tool that has an automated data cleaning feature which helps eliminate personal bias when interpreting the data.

Data cleaning of online surveys usually involves categorizing answers to open-ended questions and multiple-choice questions that include an “other; please specify” response. Because of their these open-ended response style questions, they can provide significant value but are often impossible to process without some form of summarization or tabulation. One of the easiest ways China tech consulting teams can summarize these questions is to build a list of themes and select the themes that apply as you read each response.

Daxue Consulting’s teams validate, format, and analyze your online survey in China data results

After receiving the data from the online survey, our experts get to work analyzing the data and finding the information useful for our clients. This is an important and exciting step in the survey process. It’s at this point that the data may reveal important facts about your customers, uncover trends that you might not otherwise have known existed, or provide irrefutable facts to support your plans. By doing in-depth data comparisons, our clients can begin to identify relationships between various data that will help them understand more about their respondents, and guide them towards better decisions.

Analyzing any survey, web or traditional, consists of some interrelated processes that are intended to summarize, arrange, and transform data into information.
