Data collection

How to capture the attention of your targets

COHDA provides all the means of gathering data which will capture the attention of your targets and obtain their participation, via its in-house contact platform or its solid partnerships with French start-ups. Human beings are at the heart of our surveys, so it is not surprising that the telephone, thanks to the quality of discussion it enables and the positive memory trace it leaves, remains the leading collection tool in our activities. However, other tools emerge naturally, for economic and/or methodological reasons.

A responsible collection strategy

Everything must be designed to be in the right place at the right time with the right tools and the right register, even if this means combining contact methods to reach our aims (e.g., online + telephone). We take particular care, however, not to over-elicit the audience(s) in question, which explains why predictive dialling and calls after 8pm are not among our practices!

Our collection methods

Do you have a specific requirement?

Telephone

To reach a diverse and authentic audience, with a view to establishing close contact and a high degree of attentiveness.

Discover our platforms

Panel

For large-scale, lower cost surveys with a captive audience.

Mystery surveys

For an accurate and highly objective evaluation of service quality or a contact method (telephone, email, chat, shop or service desk, etc.).

Email

To capitalise on the generalisation of this form of contact and to roll-out surveys at the lowest cost, plugged into your CRM or as a ‘one-shot’, this method also allows for the use of visual tools (logos, communication media).

SMS

To set up an interactive and lively conversational mode with your targets, anywhere, via brief ‘live’ questionnaires.

IVR

To steer and optimise the performance of a customer relations centre by automating post-call satisfaction feedback, in real time and continuously.

Post

To capture technology-remote audiences (without computers or email), to provide time and freedom to respondents, or to avoid the constraints of a file.

Face-to-face

To reach your customers, users or citizens in a specific location (in a shop, at a service desk, at home, at a tourist site, etc.) and observe a phenomenon in situ, right where it is happening.

Social media

To capture audiences where they browse and interview them on topics related to their daily lives.
