Omnibus surveys, often referred to as piggyback surveys, are a type of internet survey. However, rather than being sponsored by a single corporation, the poll includes questions from a variety of different organizations. This method of market research enables multiple brands and businesses to purchase a few questions for inclusion in a much bigger poll.

● Company A wants to inquire about respondents’ recent automobile purchases.

● Company B wants to elicit information on house mortgages from respondents.

● Company C wants to inquire about respondents’ coffee preferences.

Typically, this form of market research takes between three and seven days to complete. The duration of the timetable is determined by how quickly the survey draft is approved and how difficult it is to reach the target population.

Advantages of Omnibus Surveys

● Omnibus surveys provide many of the same advantages as online surveys: low cost, prompt findings, and big sample size.

● These advantages become much more attractive when only a few questions are typically asked. In minutes, responses from a general population can be acquired.

● If you’re on a budget and searching for a low-cost market research methodology, omnibus surveys are your best bet. This is a frequent strategy for brands seeking to do unique research for public relations purposes.

How are Omnibus Surveys conducted?

In the past, there was a lot more variation in the methodology employed for an omnibus survey.

For those who are not familiar with digital transformation, the market research industry (and the rest of the world) has gone totally digital over the past several decades.

Previously, omnibus surveys were conducted over the phone, but these days, they are almost entirely conducted online.

The majority of this form of market research is carried out through online questionnaires. Through the use of mobile devices such as cellphones, tablets, PCs, and laptops.

What is the purpose of conducting these studies online?

Surveys conducted online are:

● Responses from the general public can be obtained in as little as an hour, depending on the situation.

● These are inexpensive- compare the cost of a single click of the mouse to send 10,000 invitations to 100 hours of call center time.

● If you take the proper steps, online data quality can be just as good as that of a phone survey in some instances.

How should you get started on the Omnibus Surveys?

Are you prepared to board the bus?

Ideally, the plan should outline all of the fees and additional services that would be charged.

It should also include information about the firm’s timing, process, and previous experience with omnibus surveys.
