WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Catalist, a data services company serving the progressive community, and iModerate Research Technologies, a leading online research firm, today announced the launch of Voter Insider. Voter Insider is an online solution for political, advocacy and civic engagement research that solves a longstanding problem in this arena – the inability to ensure that online research respondents are who they claim to be. Respondents frequently misrepresent their voting history and behaviors. This poses a tremendous challenge for researchers trying to connect with their target audience. Moreover, it can lead to inaccurate studies. Voter Insider solves this issue by matching Catalist’s proprietary database of voter information to respondent profiles from three of the largest providers of online research respondents in the U.S. This offering blends this proprietary method of respondent validation with online research services and expertise from iModerate.
Voter Insider is unique in that it provides access to 5 million verified respondents. To that end, it gives pollsters and other researchers the ability to select a target audience that closely represents the voting population based on their documented vote history and modeling scores. Getting the right respondents to the research is only part of the solution. Voter Insider incorporates the latest in online research tools and techniques from iModerate and affiliated partners. These include: quantitative surveys, one-on-one qualitative conversations, dial testing, heat mapping, as well as accompanying project management and ancillary services.
“The ability to conduct comprehensive political research online with your verified target audience represents a significant opportunity for researchers,” said Harold Ickes, Catalist’s President. “Accuracy, insight and speed are paramount in the political arena. To be able to provide a solution that offers all three is exciting for us and our partners.”
Voter Insider can be used to obtain data as well as capture the voice of the customer. The solution can be used for anything from ad tests to message tests and is available in three packages: a hybrid (qual-quant) package for ad testing, a qualitative package, and a custom package in which an ala carte menu of research options is available. When applicable, the quantitative component centers around an online survey while the qualitative component revolves around iModerate’s proprietary one-on-one conversations. These distinct conversations allow iModerate’s professional moderators to have a one-on-one dialogue with respondents, in real-time, to uncover beneath-the-surface reasoning and motivations.
