Global market research, fieldwork, and respondent recruitment

Understand consumers through what they do, buy, and experience

Meaningful consumer research requires more than age, gender, and location. Yamada Research recruits participants using category behaviour, product usage, purchase recency, brand relationships, lifestyle, household profile, and other study-specific criteria.

How participants are validated

How consumer participants are validated

Claimed behaviour is not the same as real behaviour. Category usage, recency, and ownership are checked against the quota the study needs.

Validation methods are selected according to the audience and study requirements—a product-test recruit is screened differently from a general-population survey sample.

  1. 01Category and product-usage confirmation
  2. 02Purchase-frequency screening
  3. 03Purchase-recency screening
  4. 04Brand or model ownership checks
  5. 05Life-stage and household-profile screening
  6. 06Geographic and quota controls
  7. 07Screener consistency checks
  8. 08Duplicate prevention
  9. 09Proof of purchase or ownership where appropriate
  10. 10Attendance confirmation
  11. 11Product-test protocol checks where relevant
