Video Calls are most commonly used by researchers across Askable. We believe that speaking to your customers is the best way to do research. By running discovery interviews or usability testing via Video Calls, you get the highest quality and maximum depth of information from our lovely participants.
​

Select this option when you plan on interviewing or researching one person at a time. This allows you to allocate one person, per session that you create. For example, if you wanted to interview 10 people, you would recruit for 10 participants and then invite each one to their own session time in the Calendar.
​
This is great for having a private & personal conversation with your customers. Hearing their pain points & feedback directly 💬

These run very similar to 1 on 1 Interviews, with the main difference being is that it allows you to invite multiple people to the one session that you setup. For example, if you are running two focus groups, both with 5 people in it. Your Study quota would be for 10 people and then you could invite 5 people to each session time.
​
This is great for allowing participants with commonalities (or differences!) to bounce off ideas & share feedback together as a group.
​

Surveys are a great way to put out quick feelers on a design, idea or concept at a high volume.
​
Askable allows you to link your Surveys created in a Third-Party Survey Tool into a Study. What are your perks of using Askable you ask? You can:

Many things come under the banner of Online Tasks, these could include...

Anything that isn't a simple Survey should be set up as an Online Task. This is to set the expectation for participants to respond accordingly and allows Askable to incentivise them appropriately.

The OG form of research 😎 If you're wanting to run a Face-to-Face session with participants, this is the way to go.
​
This is great for physical product testing, food & beverage tasting, or if you simply value meeting your customers!
​
Same applies here as Video Calls, 1 on 1 Interviews or Focus Group options are available to you for In Person Sessions.
​

You'll be able to set the time required for participants to participate in your Diary Study across x number of days when setting this up in Askable.
​
This gives participants an idea of the time commitment required for this study so they can plan ahead.
​
Unlike other research types, this format basically recruits participants for you and gives you the free space to communicate with them as you wish. You will be using the Messaging function in your Askable Study to share instructions, follow up and chat with participants.
​
Only when participants have completed the multi-step task in full, you will be able to grant their payments using the Drop Down button next to their names.

Now, you won't see this option in the setup of Askable or anything like that, but it's important to mention.

Askable can accomodate for a range of possiblities for when need to do something that may not fit into one of the typical boxes. Perhaps you are looking for an extremely niche type of audience or doing a combo of moderated and unmoderated testing with the same people.

Anything along these lines, please reach out to Support via the Live Chat and we can advice on what's the best setup for you.
