Sample Sourcing From a Global Specialist Network
Reach hard-to-find, highly specialised respondents and niche buyer populations when a standard panel does not provide the audience your research needs.
What Is Sample Sourcing?
Sample sourcing is the process of identifying and recruiting respondents who match the exact criteria of a research study. It is most useful when the audience is niche, specialist or difficult to reach through generic online panels.
Why Teams Use Sample Sourcing
- Reach respondents with highly specific professional experience.
- Build a sample around narrow buyer or user criteria.
- Recruit senior decision-makers and specialist roles.
- Support research where generic panel access is not enough.
