Parliamentary Visitor Research"Thank you for helping to make our Open Day a success. I appreciate your professionalism, attention to detail and promptness …. A great product, and excellent service. I received positive feedback about the reports (not just the results), and in particular about the speedy turnaround. It was great to have you here on the day, and I will most certainly be recommending you and the kiosks to people in the future." Chris Tracey Manager, Visitor & Support Services Branch Parliamentary Service Waikato Home & Garden ShowSince 2008, TSMR has provided a mix of touchscreen and online services for visitor research and public voting for NZ Interior Design Awards and NZ Landscape Design Awards:"Hannah & Associates Ltd have organised the Waikato Home & Garden Show in Hamilton N.Z. for the past 26 years. During this time we have placed a lot of importance on surveying our show visitors. For many years we used a full manual and paper system to provide us with the information we needed. This was an expensive cumbersome and lengthy process. Since we appointed Touchscreen Marketing and Research to help us with their stream lined technology we have not only been able to reduce our budget but also secure far more meaningful information in much greater detail. We have always been impressed with Touchscreen Marketing and Research’s professional service – working with us to provide solutions and cost effective ways to provide tailor made answers to suit our many projects. Prompt and efficient service, fast turn around of results prepared, in a most professional format. We wish Rachel and her company every success and would have no hesitation recommending her company to any business or organisation needing research data collected and analysed for planning marketing research or other projects."

Rachel Hobbs Exhibition & Marketing Director HAYLEYMEDIA LTD ESPRI Database Raw Data - Auckland MuseumTSMR leases the Auckland Museum 2 tablet PCs set up with a Digivey survey to complete their quarterly visitor questionnaire. TSMR provides the raw data in a format suitable for importing into their ESPRI database."The use of the PC tablets has streamlined our data gathering process, allowing us to complete a greater number of surveys more quickly. Furthermore, the use of the tablets has improved our response rate significantly, with the refusal rate dropping by a third. Rachel has worked closely with Infotools, the company that provides our ESPRI database, to ensure the data we collect via the PC tablets is transferred seamlessly and without a hitch.

To obtain the immediate feedback of the delegates we decided on using the services of Rachel Wells’ innovative company “Touch Screen Marketing & Research”.The response was over whelming with 75% of conference delegates using the survey system for conference feedback. This was a vast improvement on previous years where we typically received feedback from 15% of delegates. Comments on the ease and user friendliness from those attending were extremely positive as was the fact that they could provide their comments whilst fresh in mind. Working with Rachel and using the Touch Screen Survey was effortless and receiving the results in record time saved us both time and money. We do not hesitate to recommend “Touch Screen Marketing & Research” to anyone who wants fast, easy and accurate marketing feedback.” Jane Paape Events Manager Franchise Association of NZ Inc Back to top Tourism ResearchGaining a Better Understanding of Their Markets'I have used TouchScreen Marketing & Research’s technology in a few instances on behalf of my tourism clients. Rachel’s all round support from quote stage through to pick-up of the equipment is very impressive. Her research background is invaluable in putting together the survey questions and the electronic information collation and cross tabulation received at the completion of the survey is miles better than having to manually process data. I will continue to use Rachel’s business skills and technology to assist my clients in gaining a better understanding of their markets.'Rachael Voyce Tourism Tactics Back to top Consumer Research - Lincoln University'Excellent Platform for Undertaking Consumer Surveys''I used Touch Screen Market Research to collect data for my Masters Thesis. The thesis surveyed consumers in supermarkets to test their willingness to pay for different attributes of lamb using a choice modeling. The thesis has been recently submitted and was awarded an ‘A’ grade.The touch screen technology proved to be an excellent platform for undertaking consumer surveys in supermarkets. Supermarket customers have a very wide demographic profile which could potentially cause issues for data collection but the touch screens proved to be easy and intuitive for the great majority people surveyed. Many customers also commented that the touch screen definitely helped engage them in the survey and they enjoyed filling it out. Having access to the three different types of touch screen units was great and made data collection easier as different locations suited different types of units better. Another key benefit is that you can track the number of completed surveys as you go meaning there is no guess work about how many samples you have and how many more you need to get the required sample size. A very nice feature of this technology is that all the data comes to you in an Excel spreadsheet which saves a huge amount of time as you do not need to key in all the raw data. The cost of collecting data by this method was also quite reasonable when compared to other data collection methods especially when considering how accurate this method is and how much time it saves. Rachel Wells was great to deal with and had very quick turn-around times when setting up or making changes to the survey. Overall the use of the touch screens for my data collection was a great success and I would highly recommend other researchers consider this option for their data collection. Mike Rutledge, Marketing Graduate, Fonterra Brands New Zealand Back to top Expo - Wellington Convention Centre'TSMR Went Beyond Our Expectations'"We would recommend TSMR to anyone looking for an efficient and professional way to gather feedback. The TSMR product and service went beyond our expectations and provided a service that gave us confidence that the feedback was gathered in the best possible way. We even received the feedback the very next day."Melissa Cathcart, Marketing Co-ordinator, Wellington Convention Centre Back to top Patient Satisfaction Survey - Masterton Medical'Format of the results was stunning'Dear Rachel,Thank you so much for supplying the touch screen survey system. As first time users, we were very pedantic about the content and how the survey would be presented so we were incredibly pleased that you were so patient with our endless questions and requested changes. The survey was easy to complete and many of our clients were interested in and enjoyed the process. Our more elderly clients were surprised at how easily the system worked. The format of the results was stunning and we were surprised at how much information was presented. We will definitely be using the system again and look forward to having it on an annual basis. Thank you again Rachel. Trudy Hullena Masterton Medical Back to top Tourist Attraction - Christchurch Gondola'Use Marketing Dollar More Effectively To Reach Target Market'
“The data received from TouchScreen Marketing & Research means that we can use our marketing dollar more effectively to reach our target market.
It was interesting to see where our locals compared to international tourists find their information and how that varies across the age groups. With the information received we can certainly make more accurate business decisions and focus on advertising through more defined media channels.” Trade Show Registration Survey - EXPRO'Everything was just done so well from start to end' “The Business Opportunities and Franchise Expo Series have been running in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington for 15 years.For the first time in 2007 we used touch screens for our registrations from Touchscreen Marketing & Research (these are either portable or stand alone touch screens like a PC monitor). Everything was just so well done from start to end. Rachel Wells, the director, was hands on and very accommodating. She was extremely efficient in picking up our requirements for the surveys and creating questions to meet our needs. The touchscreen process was enjoyed by the visitor and appeared more professional than the paper or manual version we had used for many years. The final report Touchscreen Marketing & Research produced for us at the end of each show (I might add within two days of completion of Expos) were fantastic, saving us an enormous amount of time and money. We are really just totally thrilled with the fast and efficient set up of the survey and questions, reliability and hands on professionalism Rachel has given us over our two and three day Expos – and the quality and detail in the Reports of survey results including cross tabulations have been phenomenal. We cannot thank you enough and look forward to working with you for many years to come." Jo Rodger, Managing Director, Expro Ltd Back to top Tourist Attraction - Willowbank Wildlife Reserve'Opportunity To Act Immediately With Instant Results' “Rachel Wells from TouchScreen Marketing & Research, provided a very easy and comprehensive service. All the questions were prepared for us with minimal suggestions from Willowbank. The survey covered a range of areas that we are interested in from quality of our product to how people heard of us. The survey kiosks were attractive to look at and fitted easily into our confined spaces. People found them easy to use and the system cleverly only showed questions appropriate to the person. The information that has been provided to us since the survey was completed is hugely comprehensive and arrived promptly. I can see that it is the sort of thing we need to do at regular intervals to get a bigger picture. I am hoping that in the long term this type of surveying will show areas of advertising that works and areas that are wasting our hard earned budget. I am very impressed with the service we received from Rachel and would recommend this way of knowing how your customer sees your product.”Kathy Rangi, Manager, Willowbank Wildlife Reserve
Retail Store - Arbuckles'70% - 75% Response Rate'In Arbuckles retail stores in Christchurch, 70-75% of customers who came into the stores completed the surveys. Survey participation was enhanced by the offer of entering a draw for a $100 voucher.This high response rate compares to traditional paper-based methods where 15-18% is considered a relatively good response rate. This confirms that New Zealanders like to share their opinions and satisfaction levels - they just need an easy and unobtrusive method, such as touchscreen surveys, to do it. ‘The response rate was very high – in Arbuckles most customers in the store participated in the survey. The screens are very easy to use. Indeed customers even stated they were happy to participate. The way the survey is set up is extremely flexible so it is possible to combine general questions regarding: store layout, service etc with the specific ones about current promotions or advertisements. We found all the feedback very useful.’ Christine Prince, Group Marketing Manager, Postie Plus Group Ltd Back to top Medical - SportsMed Canterbury“Rachel customised a survey that acknowledged the number of services and providers we have. This gave us feedback on a discipline basis which will help us in planning our marketing strategy. In the past we have used a manual survey and collation and interpretation of data has been difficult. We will be using the touch survey in the future and look to build on the knowledge we gained this time by drilling down a little more. I would commend TouchScreen Marketing and Research for the manner in which they developed a survey for our use and facilitated the whole process and provided us with in depth reports within 24 hours of the survey’s completion.” Kevin Smith, Practice Manager, SportsMed Canterbury Back to topShopping Centre - Centre City'Higher Response Rate in Spite of Less Time and Effort'“Market Research via Touch Screen kiosks is an innovative, fast and flexible way to obtain useful data. In July, we placed three kiosks around the Shopping Mall for two weeks. Our customers were encouraged to complete the survey by entering a draw for shopping vouchers. People are innately curious, so the response rate of customers of all age groups, trying out the “new” technology, was very high. Rachel Wells, General Manager of Touchscreen Marketing & Research provided excellent support. She stayed in contact with us over the whole project to ensure everything ran well.” Stefanie Kiefer, Marketing Manager, Centre City Shopping Centre, New Plymouth Back to top Seminar and Trade Show- Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce'Difficult Base to Gather Meaningful Survey Sample'Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce have used Digivey surveys and small business quizzes to gather feedback at networking meetings and trade shows.‘Traditionally, and increasingly so, our members have been a difficult base to gather a meaningful survey sample from due to the amount of information a business receives each day by other survey means e.g. email or post. We trialled the Touchscreen system and were impressed when, without an incentive, 75% of the attendees at the network meeting completed the touch screen survey using a mix of kiosks and desktop PCs. The respondents found the one minute survey easy to complete. The inviting and professional presentation of the surveys - customised with our logo, corporate colours and photos - encouraged participation. Survey questions were easily formatted for presentation through the touch screen media.  In both instances, the results were instantly available, providing meaningful data that we can apply to our service offering. The combination of touch screen technology and Digivey research software provided a fast, flexible and cost effective method to collect data. Rachel Wells ensured that the touch screen system was very easy to set up from our perspective and she managed the entire survey process professionally.’ Tafflyn Bradford-James, Marketing & Communications Manager, Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce Back to top Business Meeting - Customer ExperiencesCustomer Experiences gathered feedback at a breakfast meeting at Mona Vale, using a mix of tablet PCs and desktop PCs. Without an incentive, 75% of the attendees completed the 2 minute survey providing the presenter with valuable feedback.“Gaining valuable cost effective feedback from customers is the key to the continued success of any business. Using touch screen technology allows us to do this quickly and with the minimum amount of effort required by our clients. The other huge advantage is that the survey results are available instantly and in a format that is easy to interpret, allowing us the opportunity to act immediately, vital in a highly competitive fast pace market”. Chris Bell, Managing Director, Customer Experiences Ltd Back to top Health Quiz - Mind Sync'Helped us tremendously with target market strategies'Mind Sync created a youth stress quiz for a youth conference held at the Christchurch Convention Centre.Digivey quizzes are especially effective in the health industry providing an interactive quiz at the point of experience. Respondents simply touch their responses on the touchscreen and based on the scores programmed for each response, their overall rating is displayed.  "Touchscreen Surveys are an interactive, innovative way to involve your customer or audience. The technology is state-of-the-art and the feedback we received from our surveys helped us tremendously with our target market strategies and sales projections." Jennifer Beck, Mindsync Back to top Waihi Top 10 Holiday Park - Winner of TSMR's competition sent the following letter to the editor of Tourism Business Magazine.Hi there I am writing to express my thanks to Tourism Business and Touchscreen Marketing & Research for the opportunity to use their survey and feedback system in our park recently. Rachel Wells of Touchscreen Marketing & Research worked with us to develop a series of questions and put them in such a way that even younger people were able to easily understand and answer. The ease of set up and use was excellent and I want to take this opportunity to recommend it to others as an easy way to gain unbiased guest feedback on one’s own business. The ‘box’, which incorporated the touchscreen computer and survey, was a 5 minute set up job and the same to repack to return to Touchscreen Marketing & Research. What we hadn’t realised or expected was the quality of the reports from the survey data. These were not only expressed as a spreadsheet but also given as a PowerPoint Presentation making is very easy to share with staff and interested parties. We received an email with all the data as well as a professionally presented hard copy. To all readers, I would encourage you to check this out if you are keen to better understand your own business, and how your guests see it!
