Results of NOPVO
NOPVO is a unique study. With 19 participating panels that capture 95% of respondents to online marketing research in the Netherlands, it presents an excellent overview over the different panel management practices in the market. In addition, the empirical study provides rich information on a wide variety of topics (e.g. work and life situation, politics, religion, brand awareness, ad awareness, and why they participate in online surveys). By linking this information to the general panel overview, knowledge can be gained on the relationship between (1) panel recruitment, panel monitoring, and panel maintenance on the one hand and (2) response rate, participation rate, response time, representativeness, quality of answers, response motives, and Internet usage patterns on the other hand.About this website
