Digital transformation is accelerating and it’s driving new customer behaviors at a rate that most companies have never seen. UX research has never been more important. Continuing to conduct research using remote methods allows you to connect with people where they are and in context, and ensures you keep uncovering insights to create products that succeed.
Brands need a partner who understands remote privacy and security, managing participants in dynamic situations, and a team that is experienced in working and collaborating remotely.
AnswerLab works with brands to take the advantages of remote research and combine them with the best aspects of in-person studies.
We help you reap the benefits of remote research, including:
- access to a wider pool of participants
- reaching participants who can’t get to a physical lab
- connecting with participants in their natural surroundings
- testing on a wider range of real-world devices and platforms in context
Remote research can be used to gather insights at every stage of development.
Remote research is more than IDIs and unmoderated usability. UX research can help you answer questions at all stages of product development remotely. Learn more about our remote research toolkit.
