Bespoke online market research panels

At DJS Research, we make it easy for you to create and manage your own online panel, tailored to your needs. Whether you want to engage with a group regularly or focus on specific projects, our platform helps you gather reliable insights quickly and efficiently.

Why build your own online panel?

Recruiting participants for every project can be time-consuming and costly. By building your own panel, you’ll have a group of engaged individuals at your fingertips and ready to take part in your research. Here’s why creating your own panel could make a real difference for your organisation:

• Quick results: Get insights when you need them – no need to start from scratch every time.
• Better engagement: Your panel members will become familiar with your research process, providing valuable and relevant feedback.
• Ongoing feedback: Collect insights as needed, saving time and money on constant recruitment.
• Targeted responses: Group panel members by specific traits or interests for the most relevant feedback.

Your own panel, bespoke and fully branded

We make it simple to create a branded online panel where participants can join, update their profiles, and stay informed about new research tasks. Whether it’s immediate online surveys or upcoming qualitative tasks like focus groups or interviews, participants receive updates via push notifications. Our panel service includes:

• Branded website and web app: A custom-branded destination where participants can sign up, monitor activity, and receive notifications for new research tasks.
• Incentive tracking and redemption: Track accumulated incentives and easily redeem them through options such as PayPal, Amazon vouchers, or charity donations.
• Smooth integration: The platform works with all major survey tools, or we can handle the entire survey process for you.

Efficient panel management

Managing your panel doesn’t have to be complicated. Our platform simplifies back-end operations, making it easy to run your panel, no matter its size.

• Automated engagement and workflow management: Keep participants engaged with automatic survey invitations, reminders, and follow-ups.
• Real-time data and reporting: Get instant feedback to help you make quick, informed decisions.
• Incentive management: Easily track rewards for panellists to ensure they stay motivated and engaged.
• Fraud prevention and data integrity: Built-in fraud detection and validation to keep your data accurate and reliable.
• Mobile-friendly and accessible: The platform is optimised for all devices, with a user-friendly mobile interface.
• GDPR-compliant and secure: Fully compliant with data protection laws and equipped with security features, including encryption and secure authentication.

Already have a panel? We can help!

If you already have a panel or a list of people (e.g. an Excel file), we can integrate them into our system. We’ll handle the migration smoothly, ensuring no loss of engagement or data. At DJS Research we can empower you to: 

• Manage your panel your way: Whether you prefer to manage everything yourself or need extra support, we’re here to help with everything from recruitment to survey management.
• Integrate survey tools: We can tailor our approach to ensure outputs integrate with your preferred survey tools, or we can manage the entire process for you including tool hosting and development. 
• Reach a global audience: Our platform supports multilingual surveys to engage international participants.
• Self-manage or opt for full-service support: Choose between full management or handling it yourself with our platform’s flexibility.

Why choose DJS Research to design and manage your online panels?

With years of experience managing high-quality panels, DJS Research is dedicated to delivering insights that matter. Here’s why we’re the right choice:

• Proven expertise: We’ve worked with clients to build and manage panels that provide reliable feedback, using the same system we’ve developed for our own in-house panels which include:

  • Opinion Exchange: Our in-house panel with over 25,000 active panellists, managed using the same platform we use for client panels.
  • Specialist panels: We also run several specialist panels, offering access to targeted audiences:
  • ChatterZone: A panel of children (with parental consent) and parents, ideal for family and youth-related research.
  • Different Perspectives: A panel of individuals from vulnerable health or financial backgrounds, providing crucial insights from underrepresented groups.
  • VoicED: A panel of education professionals, offering deep insights into the education sector.

These panels are part of DJS Research’s own system, which means we have direct access to these diverse groups for your research needs.

Examples of bespoke panels we've built for our clients include:

• A global healthcare panel for Elsevier: We helped a global pharmaceutical company transition their healthcare professional panel to a new platform with over 5,000 active members across multiple countries. The platform’s flexibility allowed us to run multilingual surveys, ensuring global reach and high-quality engagement.
• A cultural institution panel for National Gallery: A well-known cultural institution created a dedicated panel for audience research. The panel helped them gather quick insights for smaller projects and qualitative research, improving turnaround times and decision-making. We supported them by building both the front-end and back-end elements of the panel and providing training for their team.
