Researchers will be calling residents to ask their views on a number of topical subjects in the coming days.

The Q2 Omnibus Survey is being carried out by Narrative Research Bermuda and will cover “a diverse array of timely issues in such areas as local social issues, employment, economics, politics and lifestyle trends”.

A company spokesman said: “The surveys are conducted using CATI technology and utilise state-of-the-art research methods, in accordance with the highest standards established for the research industry.

“The calls are placed locally from 497-4558 and the numbers called are generated using random digit dialling, and as such, there may be a slight delay of up to three seconds after you answer as your call is routed through to one of our professionally trained interviewers.

“Narrative Research Bermuda adheres to the highest international research standards and ensures that all participants remain anonymous.

“We will also be going into field with the Bermuda Voice panel later this week. Bermuda Voice is an online panel that seeks the input of residents on a variety of topics.

“Many people don’t realise how much telephone and online surveys, focus groups and secret shoppers impact the services and products we use in our everyday lives.

“It’s common for companies to use market research before releasing their service or product to gain a better perspective on what their consumers need, in turn allowing the company to tailor goods and services which results in a better service or product for you, the customer.”
