MetrixLab Acquires Strategic Ownership Position in Precision Sample
- Precision’s Panels display a very low incidence of “Professional Panelist” behavior when compared to other major US panels. Incidence of speeding, straight-lining and satisficing is approximately 1/3rd of that seen among its competitors. This is attributable to the fact that SPN panelists have not sought-out to join a survey panel but are simply participating in surveys at a site they have joined for completely different reasons.
- SPN partners issue survey honorariums in a wide variety of formats that are commonly non-cash based. Many SPN members are participating in exchange for premium services and memberships that they may otherwise pay for or virtual currencies. This further reduces the presence of professional panelists in the audience.
While commenting on the transaction, Han de Groot, CEO of MetrixLab stated, “We are pleased to bring such a promising, well-positioned North American sample provider closer to the MetrixLab family. We are confident that Precision Sample’s innovative recruiting methodology will provide engaged respondents for MetrixLab and MarketTools clients and prove highly scalable as we work to expand its offerings into a global sample network.” Don Golden, CEO of Precision Sample stated, “The partnership of Precision Sample and MetrixLab is a perfect fit at a time when the company is poised to expand globally. We look forward to servicing the sample needs of end clients with our best-in-class North American panels while leveraging the global reach of MetrixLab to expand our panels and customer base worldwide.”
