You Will Love Our Limelight Platform
It’s secure
- Each project gets its own, unique virtual research room
- Our team controls who is allowed to enter the room
- No reported hacking of Adobe Connect like other online meeting platforms
- Room design/layout is “locked” so all research participants have the exact same visual experience (this is particularly important when evaluating stimuli in market research)
Each client has their own tech team assigned to their research project to ensure smooth sessions
- Each participant must pass a “tech check” prior to their research session
- Tech team stays online for the duration of the research session to work through any technology issues in real-time
It allows for a client “back room” experience
- Only clients and the project moderator can see the right-hand side of screen (like the “back room”)
- Participants cannot see names of client observers
- Clients have access to a private backroom chat which allows them to talk to one another and to the moderator (participants cannot see this chat)
Customized virtual room layouts
- Programmed based on your moderator’s guide with your needs in mind
- Easily use different projective techniques or show stimuli with the click of a button

Why Should You Conduct Online Qualitative Research?
There are a variety of advantages to online qualitative research:
- Allows for efficient and cost-effective geographic reach:
- It eliminates the additional time and expense of moderator, client, and participant travel.
- You can conduct fewer overall groups or in-depth interviews but cover more territory because your research isn’t dictated by travel logistics. Participants from all over the country can be mixed into the same online research sessions.
- Increased ease and convenience: Client observers, moderators, and research participants can all participate in online qualitative research sessions from the comfort and convenience of their own homes or offices.
- Faster Turnaround Time: Online research platforms enable faster turnaround times compared to traditional research methods. Since there is no need for physical setup or travel and everything you need is in one place, studies can be conducted more efficiently.
- Anonymity and Privacy: Online research platforms can provide a certain level of anonymity and privacy to participants. This can encourage open and honest responses, particularly for sensitive topics or discussions where participants may feel less comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. Anonymity can lead to more authentic and valuable insights.
- Flexibility in Study Design: Online research platforms offer flexibility in study design. Our researchers can easily adapt the study design, virtual room layout, session length, and timing to accommodate the needs of clients and participants. This flexibility can increase participation rates and helps clients achieve research objectives.
